I love this question and I hope someone puts more thought into for you. I don't musician but I do music. Without melody there can be no lyrics. There are many pieces that stand on melody alone. Of course some of my favorite pieces (classical notwithstanding) are favorites because of their lyrics. It is definitely a ying and yang. I do believe that without a melody, lyrics are just poetry in tune.
