Yes, even lyrics themselves can be pretty sounds. I should note that this isn't entirely about the meaning of words. roachboy has posted throughout this forum, "songs" that use words (sample loops) that have no real meaning to be communicated. In cases like these (and if we can call them lyrics), the meaning might seem trivial or ordinary, but I would say they are poetic because of how they are used. Poetry is sometimes more about form, rhythm, and texture than it is about meaning.
