Wrote something on similar lines[1]. To understand a song completely I needed to dig deep in the artist's life & philosophy, the same with lyrics. I stopped trying to relate and match my existing life experience with the artist and explicitly tried understanding what the artist was trying to convey, dissolving my own understanding of what I thought it should sound like. Never went back to listening music the old way.
