I personally can't enjoy the song because of the lyrics

Me too, although the melody is very pretty.

I agree. I have the same experience with alot (not all) pop music, because in pop art of all kinds the form and the content disconnect and can contradict each other.

Madonna had a song about ten years ago with an achingly sweet melody. I loved it. Then I listened to the words...they are addressed to a parting, and false, lover.

When once I understand the words, I can't pretend I don't. Some can, apparently; I can't, and don't want to be able to.
