The songs were made by Casey and Jeff Williams who Monty (hired?) to have songs solely for the show. Monty is intentional with almost everything he does and I doubt he would just make the songs for the sake of " just because." If it was, then why hire Casey and Jeff in the first place and not just use songs on the internet? If it were so then you are right, I have nothing to talk about. However, the songs made were strictly for RWBY, not RvB, nor Achievement Hunter. Monty is intentionally intergrating the music and background into the show. To say something the creator made, implemented into the show and not call it canon is silly. If you make that your opinion, then the World of Remnant mini-series isn't canon.

From your example of Time to Say Goodbye: are you implying Cinder is not gathering forces and Ozpin, Goodwitch have nothing to be concerned about? Are you also implying Cinder, Grimm and WhiteFang are not a "storm" or "evil" coming closer? About how Glynda talks to RWby and JNPR as children, but Ozpin states they will have to grow up. Even in the dance where Ozpin states to RWBY that not all days could be like the dance.

Not everything has to go in a linear, timeline. Yes, lots of the lyrics show what is happening currently, but if they can do that surely they can make songs give exposition or foreshadowing. As well as to be pertained as metaphorical rather than the usual literal.

Lastly, I am just setting a stage here and this is a theory. That's the point; It doesn't have to please to your every desire or even be correct in the show.
