People seriously think half of a song's quality relies on lyrics
A song isn't bad for having bad lyrics if it can be good without having any lyrics |

| Lyrics add a purpose to the song so I'd have to disagree completely. I can tell you what a song is about, but I can't do the same with an instrumental. You're either trying too hard or you've thought about this for a total of 10 seconds. |

| Not much meaning can be conveyed in 3 minutes that are designed to be listened to multiple times |

| A lot of meaning can be stored within just one minute. Maybe you haven't had enough experiences to relate to the songs you think are shallow. Or maybe you just haven't heard the right song. But I can guarantee that if you listen to what they say, there will be a song that will bring you to tears. |

Thats why good artists write songs that last as long as they need to instead of as long as what will keep a radio audience with short attention spans interested.

| Lyrics only have the potential to amount to something if they are part of an album that has some sort of continuity between songs |

lyrics can add quality and they can remove quality

| Idk mang. Genres like hip-hip and spoken word are entirely dependent on their lyrics. |

Damn!! Great argument as if Dubstep is the only genre of music that doesn't always have lyrics
Most music I listen to has lyrics, I just don't value their meaning |

then you're listening to bad music or you don't have the mental capacity to understand poetry or both |

All the lyrics in this song have great depth and meaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2IXjMJgvWg
Listen to atleast one song besides the first 2 and tell me what their about. You'd have to be 5 to not get it.

Lyrics are fine and all, but songs don't need lyrics to sound good.
Or at least, in my opinion...

^ Get a new opinion. Lyrics make or break a song.

Okay. Thanks!
...On a serious note, some songs that don't have lyrics actually sound pretty good.

Yea songs don't need lyrics to sound good. But on a criticism standpoint lyrics are a valid area.

True, unless the song wasn't meant to have lyrics in the first place...
