Meaning
This comes off as a sharp distinction between originality and familiarity. The speaker is saying that something can stop feeling fresh once it becomes established, even if the lyrics still carry force, so the form itself no longer feels surprising. It lands as a provocation in a discussion about fashion, music, or cultural trends, where novelty is prized and repetition starts to feel stale.
