I honestly don’t even comprehend lyrics most of the time. Singers ruin a lot of bands for me and there are only a handful of things I like that are not purely instrumental.

If lyrics are present I do want to know what they are about so I know what I’m listening to but I have to really pay attention because my brain works musically and my focus is always automatically taken by what is happening rhythmically/melodically/harmonically. I just don’t have any need for that egoic relatability or whatever engages us in lyrics, and generally I’d prefer it to be left out but I understand that some music is really created just to envelope a story and may be very uninteresting without that element.
