music and lyrics

Im just a boy,
Im drunk, Im 24

So i quite like Jesse McCartney's latest pop song "Back together". Its catchy got fun lyrics, and a nice beat. But heres the thing. I dont relate to the lyrics at all. I dont even know if i approve of the lyrics. Is that allowed? Would I be a hypocrite? Especially since Ive given friends in the past such hell for liking Coldplay. haha.

Four Words by the Maine. Another brilliant song. This time with lyrics I approve of. Beautiful story telling and solid internal consistence. Though once again, it doesnt quite fit my personal situation. Am I allowed to change it? Maybe not. Because then it wouldnt be the same song. I'll have to think about this. Because as much as listening to music is a personal endeavour, its equally a community activity. Talking about it and discussing lyrics and music. And you simply cant do that, when you decide to change the lyrics for yourself can you?
