Hey Sam,
Songwriters write songs. They do it for many different reasons, but they write songs. They're musicians.
In writing those tunes, lyrics are obviously a component, but only one component of many.
When thinking about a song, the composer doesn't differentiate the lyrics as a seperate etitiy. They are simply a part of the whole.
If you wish to be called a lyricist, that doesn't mean that you don't understand music. It simply means, that you understand music, and are much more adept at lyrics, than say writing a bass line, or doing a drum map, or arranging a symphony orchestra.
It is a skill, like any other, but is is not apart from music. How can it be ? It's a song afterall.....
cheers, niteshift

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
