I'm with you. I try to appreciate music more for the raw sensory expression and not the concepts thrown at you with verbal language. It makes all music more open to interpretation.

I can still enjoy a song that's selling an idea but really, most of the time I'm ignoring that because it feels like a 'cheat' for a lack of a better word.

I very much agree with this. I enjoy words for what they are, but ultimately I find that they take away from my own interpretation of the music. I enjoy the feeling more than the story that supposed to go with them.
