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?

    Definitely. Background music is great. But it has to be instrumental (almost any genre) or lyrics have to be in a language I don’t speak. Otherwise, it’s way too distracting.
