I'm aware. That doesn't mean every combination will be listenable and pleasant.

Many combinations will be awful and discordant...even by very liberal standards.

I focus on the music more.

There are millions of words that can be used for lyrics. Mix in another language and that number increases exponentially.

With music, there are a finite number of notes/keys one can use.

So when I hear a song that sounds fresh and interesting it's because the melody is clever and inventive. Not because someone used "love" and "above" in his/her lyrics.

Stipe often used a music stand to hold sheets of lyrics
