It varies dependant on the music.
- Instrumental music requires no focus on lyrics at all
- Well written songs need much more focus on lyrical content
and there are all manner of intermediate levels.
Suffice to say that I don't listen to music as a background to anything. If I'm listening, it's usually quite loud, and I'm not doing anything but listening to the music. Having said that, the music can inspire chains of thought that can drag my focus away from the music.
