Am I like the only one who does almost not care at all about the lyrics? I listen to DT cuz of the music...that's it, lyrics aren't important, they're just there so the singer can sing something
I don't consider lyrics AS important as the music, but they are still important. Lyrics need to be written in such a way that they flow properly with the tempo of the song. What is actually being said is more subjective, depending on your tastes. I ususally don't let lyrics bother me too much, but if they are really bad, then they can detract from the song regardless of how good the music.
