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?
yes, for me for sure! I find music with words totally distracting when I’m trying to read or write - I was never able to work while listening to music
on the other hand, I find listening to music when I’m driving in the car really helps distract half of my brain so I am able to actually get some good thinking with the other half of my brain which is now uncluttered and less distractible
