How much relevant they are?
Do we actually eat and learn what they are telling us?
Why do we need them?
Life itselfs teaches me that life is hard, that life has wonderful things, that I should work hard, etc; do I need a song to "open myself"??
I think it's a wonderful thing to appreciate it coming from the artist himself/herself; and that's all. Should we care about the language? should we bother to understand it??

In my opinion it depends on the artist's intention. Some music uses singing just as another element of the music, sometimes with meaningless or even gibberish lyrics that are chosen for their sound.
Others, like a lot of singer songwriters, are primarily lyricists and the music serves as a vehicle for that.
With most pop and rap the lyrics come second to the "vibes" of the song since it's meant as passive listening
