Anyone else unable to listen to music with lyrics? (lemmy.ca)

Every time a song goes on, I can't focus on anything else because I feel the lyrics going into my brain and replacing my thoughts with other words. Especially if I'm trying to do homework or coding. So because of this, I only listen to classical music or the instrumental tracks of modern songs I do like. My sister thinks it's weird. I only listen to lyrical songs if I want to sing them (theatre kid)

Does anyone else relate?

Mostly it's because she doesn't like listening to instrumental music when we're in the same car and she gets frustrated but I'm like "I can't do lyrics!!" idk I think it's sensory overload

A screencap from Supernatural. Dean and Sam are sitting in their car, Dean in the driver's seat is telling Sam: "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole."

I know, I keep forgetting :) I already edited but I guess the change hasn't propagated to you yet.
