Default music people ... do you ever understand the lyrics on the first try?

It never fails that I can't understand music lyrics. I don't care about the emo-homo "meaning" behind them ... I just can't decipher what they're even saying.

This goes for everything. Hip Hop, Rap, Rock, etc.

i'm pretty good at picking everything up the first time.

i'll always go back though and listen to certain parts over.

No. I usually hear the song 4-5 times before.

I usually put the record on and feel the vibe first. Then after a few times, I'll start tuning in.

I can pick it up if I am actively listening, but I never remember them.
