I definitely feel you! For me the melody is more important than the lyrics, and a lot of my favorite songs have long instrumental sections or are instrumental entirely- but I also love when a melody I enjoy is paired with lyrics that resonate with me, and the song just works for me in that way. I'm glad you're giving the song a chance! :D
