Meaning

This reads as a defence of music that opens space rather than filling it with words. He seems to be saying that instrumental sound lets the mind wander freely, while vocal notes can narrow that openness. It lands for someone who thinks more clearly with music on, especially when silence feels too bare and lyrics feel distracting.
