I listen to all sorts of music and it doesn't really change much. Realistically I tune out of the lyrics while I'm focused on something else anyway.

  For me, it depends on how familiar I am with the song—if I've heard it a thousand times, the lyrics fade into the background for me. But if it's a new song, for example, my concentration plummets.

    I have the (somewhat) opposite problem of needing to concentrate to hear the lyrics of a song. By default the lyrics fade into the background and I only notice the beat and/or musical instruments.

      I'm the same way.
