I've spent so many years purposely tuning out the vocalist that I rarely hear the lyrics anymore. I'll only pay attention to em if they're really profound or add significantly to the song, otherwise most times I'd rather not know. The music speaks for itself on a really well written song and the lyrics tend to put a permanent stamp over top of it that may or may not match what I visualize when I hear it. There's nuthin worse than really liking a song only to have it ruined by 'I love you baby' or 'We're the Gods of the mountains" lyrics.
