I tend to hear the vocals as an instrument and often have no idea what the words are. It’s happened before where once I learn the words I don’t like the song as much anymore either because the meaning of the words is distracting or the meaning is way different than the meaning I’d put on the song.
Lyrics don’t add value to 99.99% of music and any notes from them should be from an actual instrument.

This is a fantastic unpopular opinion.
I definitely consider this for some genres, but for others it ruins the music for me.
Same, glad I’m not the only one, lyrics is shit, tune of the vocals, of course the beat, & sometimes the chorus are the thing that matters
