Nice take and true. I would like to add that each person has a different definition of deep and meaningful lyrics.
Some might think it's all about describing the pain and joy of a relationship, others want political rants aligning with their own views while others might want enlightened.
Personally, I'm a melody first guy and don't pay much attention to deciphering the meaning of lyrics until after several listens.
My favorites are generally quirky and have a little humor even if the subject is serious.
