Maybe they're total gibberish, but just for the sake of comparison, I knew a woman who sang in a band that performed "Come Together" (from the Beatles). I remember her saying, "Don't distract me when I'm singing this, because the words make no sense, and I can't remember them if I don't concentrate."

Yeah The Beatles were one of those bands where their songs are so personal that many of their lyrics only make sense to them and may as well be total nonsense to everyone else. I fully believe they're as popular as they are partly because everyone who listens is trying to find their decoded meaning.
