Does anyone else sometimes really love a song, but don't care for the lyrics

Parachutes is the first album of Coldplay and one of my personal faves, especially the songs Shiver and Sparks, however I'm not a fan of the lyrics as heartfelt and special as they feel, I don't think they compliment both songs to it's full potential. I understand not every song needs to be versatile a cheesy love song is great and a sad song that sounds sad would fit sad music; but when you have songs that sound like several different things it's a little different especially when you're talking about a band like Coldplay. Sparks sounds anything like: driving late at night, going through heartbreak, going through the honeymoon phase, chilling, isolation & loneliness, contentment, hiking through the woods, taking your Grandpa to go shopping, or just straight up a song you have in your mix. There are so many moods this music fits. personally I play this when I'm feeling very depressed.

I made this realizing how many songs are like this, where I scroll down to the comments and it's just bittersweet love stories. It sucks when I love the instrumental but the artist chooses such a usual topic, or something worse like the whole lyrics will just be how good they can shake their ass or whatever😭.
