I am not a native English speaker.@musica Are you a native English speaker? If not (like me and many others), we have the disadvantage of not been able to understand the lyrics (or part of them) in many songs, it may help to look for the lyrics online, it's not necessary to enjoy a song by any means, but obviously it will add to the experience (or diminish it sometimes, there are many dumb lyrics out there). There are even some sites where people try to understand the meaning of some lyrics, as they may be some times a little bit hard to decipher what the person who wrote them wanted to convey.
