I totally agree. I feel there’s a lot of music or listeners who don’t notice the artistry of lyrics and how impactful lyrics can be in a song. To me there are a lot of songs that lack depth lyrically and are nothing more than a means of cashing a check, but that’s just me.

I’ve also noticed that as I’ve gotten older, I notice and comprehend the complexity of lyrics much more than I used to when I was younger even with songs I’ve been listening to my whole life. It’s quite interesting to see how mood and age change the perception of lyrics.
