How important are lyrics?

Sometimes, I don't bother about the music because it's the lyrics that count for me. If I hear a song with awful music but meaningful lyrics, I'll just wait for a talented one to make either an acoustic or piano cover of it because these talents make the song even better and make people appreciate the essence of the lyrics and not just the music. I have also observed that songs created by DJs (Calvin Harris, David Guetta) have meaningful lyrics on it. Titanium would be the best example.
