Music always comes first. Everyday, and twice on Sundays. If you just want to be moved by lyrics, go read poetry. That being said, if the music is already great and then the lyrics end up being great too, it just takes the song up another level. Lyrics are still important, but secondary to the melody, harmony, interesting riffs/licks, and rhythms.

Edit: Wanted to add that as long as the lyrics aren’t physically cringeworthy, then it doesn’t really matter to me what they’re saying.
