Do you listen to the musical sound of a song more closely, or the lyrics?
I, for instance, can hear almost any song in my head, but even for some of my favorite songs, if you asked me what the lyrics are, I wouldn't know some/most of them. It's the music for me. The deeper meaning of 99% of songs is beyond me, since I don't really listen to the lyrics. There are exceptions, though. Most jazz lyrics are so simple that it's hard for me to ignore them. Same thing with certain rock songs. Lyrics/meaning just aren't important to me.
