I think people have different methods of perception of the world. Some people, as I am are more visual while others are more auditory. In other words when people learn or do things they have tendencies or preferences for a certain method. I'm also a water colorist, so my preference is clearly visual. To me writing lyrics is like painting a picture or watching a video/movie of characters that tells a story. The melody then embraces to complement the picture or story, while the chords harmonize and enhance the overall feel. For others, that inspiration may come first from the music and then the lyrics would support that. I always look at other's lyrics first and sometimes feel something's missing if the song is just an instrumental, although I have been swept away by beautiful instrumentals.
