While you are right that the meaningful/semantic content of lyrics has nothing to do with music whatsoever, the vocal delivery and the actual phonetic sound, rhythm/prosody/meter of the words themselves most certainly
are, and indeed are no less part of the music than the instruments. With Okkervil River and Dylan etc, the mere sound of the words is crucial to the emotional power of the songs.
