This particular conversation is about songs that include lyrics, so instrumentals don't really qualify as an answer in regards to what was asked. Additionally, lyrics that are unintelligible don't fit the context of the question about if a person listens to or dissects the lyrics, which is what the OP asked.

Lyrics are definitely important to me, and it’s why I like certain bands more than others when their lyrics are thought provoking or tell a story that hits a certain way. I was also shocked to find that people don’t pay attention to lyrics and oftentimes have no idea what a song is about. Blows my mind. Songs are like poetry timed to music.

To be fair, many things that science once said were impossible are now possible, which means that science isn’t always right.

Science can only theorize based upon the evidence it has at the time the theory is made. New discoveries and advances in technology can render past theories inaccurate.

Point is, never say never. As the saying goes, we don’t know what we don’t know, and I’m willing to bet there’s a whole universe of things we don’t know.
