For some reason, learning through music is really hard for me. I have zero issues talking and listening to English speakers for years now, but I still have to actively listen if I want to get 100% of some song.
One that I remember is that I had heard the song “believer” a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying “pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me”. I don’t think I even tried to decypher the rest lol
I’m from Spain and English is my third language (currently trying to learn Portuguese)
I’ve learn it with music (Judas Priest🤟), movies and series.

Not just you:
This is so true… Like I literally can’t understand lyrics even in my native language
As a native English speaker I certainly won’t process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort
Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8

Same here, I tend to pay attention to the melody rather than any of the lyrics unless I actively try otherwise.
3rd here too and have been casually learning Turkish, Chinese and Spanish with friends.
