Gonna drop you some Chinese indie:

You Turn My Face to Another - Hiperson/Fazi

Good lyrics enhance the song for sure. The best is when they fit together. Black by Pearl Jam is a perfect example

It really depends on the genre/song. Some songs it's impossible for me to discern the lyrics of without reading them. That's applicable to me for some of the metal I listen to, as well as some of the songs I listen to that aren't in English. Other songs with genres like indie folk are much easier to discern the lyrics of, and the ones I listen to often have lyrics with a bit more depth than other songs and genres. I don't really do one over the other due to the variety of music I enjoy, but I do really appreciate a song with well-written lyrics. Songs that have lyrics about certain things I find reprehensible I can't really enjoy if I can understand the lyrics regardless of how good the other instruments sound.

Alice Cooper doing vocals on Guns N' Roses "The Garden".

I really love Electric Light Orchestra's Eldorado. I think it's really underrated in their discography and jn general. It's the story of an average, lonely guy who finds more comfort in the stories in his dreams than this life. His dreams are exciting, but are far from what I'd call pleasant. He's a traumatized soldier returning from war, a Native American living in the city after his people were driven out and way of life have been demolished, a man who gave his life fighting with Robin Hood, etc etc etc. It kind of speaks to me of deeper trouble in his life and the album ends with him being unable to cope with reality. He jumps to his death, having realized that it's the key to eternal dream. The orchestral arrangements are lovely, the music itself is pretty varied while sticking to the concept, and the vocals are incredible.

I often times can't tell what's being said or sung. it's just, as Frank Zappa said, "Modulated mouth noises." It can be *years* before I really get the lyrics.
Perfect example: "Brown Sugar"

God Help Me -the Jesus and Mary chain. Shane MacGowan on vocals

Dust Bowl Ballads by Woody Guthrie. Some believe to be the very first concept album. It’s about people who left Oklahoma and went to California. A lot of it based on his life.

If the artist wanted the lyrics to be the most important thing, they should have published a book of poetry

Fight for your right - Beastie Boys

King Diamond’s “Them”. Whenever someone says concept album always my first thought. The follow up and sequel Conspiracy was almost as good, but “Them” was just so good and the lyrics paint an awesome picture.

You are the only one here with the correct answer. I don't understand why someone downvoted you.

That’s the bit

Then make her the new kid with a pure heart who needs to prove themselves. Have fun it with by making jokes about what she eventually went on to do.

That's a pretty vain way to look at it no? Lol.

The only way it makes sense is if the song isn't about him.

"But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me"

It's filled with references to his behavior hurting her. The writing and performance of the song may have been therapeutic, and that could be the reason it exists.

She wrote it for herself. To help her feel better about falling for a vain person. But that's just IMO.

Chino Moreno on Embers by Lamb of God. This screamed transitions between the vocals is divine

Afroman for sure

LA Blues is the last track, they just wail and make noise, conceptually it makes sense but is "No Fun" to listen to

I think she talks about several men she has dated, but the song is not about them, My take is that it is about her, about the way they made her feel.

I just double checked he's definitely in the parentheses on spotify's track listing for it.

Kinda depends on my mood and what I’m listening too. Personally sound is the most important because the lyrics can be best ever but if the song sounds bad cuz of a bad mix or something like that then it’s way worse than if a song sounds amazing but the lyrics are brain dead trash. For example playboi carti music has no lyrical content but is really good still cuz of the music anc sound

Terminal Redux by Vektor.

In the future, the leader of multiple military projects gets unwillingly deployed on a suicide mission (unbeknownst to him) by his superiors. The attempt at his death fails, and while he is stranded in the abyss of space, he discovers the secret to immortality. He returns to his home planet filled with rage and wants revenge. He slips into a power-hungry state and subsequently takes over both worlds in the story, transforming them into his own dictatorship. Eventually, after he has obtained all military, political, and overall power over these two worlds, he goes insane and realizes the insignificance of all this power he has achieved within the grandeur scheme of the universe and time. He decides to put an end to his reign by destroying his empire himself, simultaneously attempting to warn future generations and other worlds of the dangers in doing what he has done; encouraging them to learn of his story to avoid the same colossal tragedy that he caused himself. The story ends with him sacrificing his soul to the same star/celestial-being that gave him the power of immortality in order to truly destroy his regime once and for all.

It is an approximately 70-minute epic album filled with some of the most intense, progressive, technical, badass, and downright beautiful metal I have ever heard in my life. It has elements of thrash metal, black metal, death metal, and is one of the most sophisticated metal albums of all time. It is a complicated story, so I may have gotten some parts wrong or forgotten some crucial parts, so here is a link for its story explained: Terminal Redux

Yes, you're missing something: the irony.

What’s your album about?

All true, except don’t forget Barack Obama came after him. The only president to try taking on the health insurance industry that controls this country.
