More than half of the songs I listen to regularly are instrumental. Another good portion have lyrics that are unintelligible because they're using the vocals as an instrument and not as a method of delivering poetry/meaning.
Saying songs are poetry tied to music is missing the forest for the trees imo. Songs can be (and are) so much more than that.
