I've never actually heard of anyone saying he was philosophical with his lyricism. I don't know what you can derive philosophically from "Pennyroyal Tea" or "Territorial Pissings", it's more of an emotional style of songwriting than it is intellectual, and Kurt was very good at that.

I agree music matters as much, and to me a helluva lot more, than the lyrics. I also happen to enjoy Nirvana's music, and I think Kurt did a great job. In Utero is one of my favorite albums from the 90s.
