What is the definition of people who hear lyrics over instruments?

This is a strange question. When you ask "What is the definition of . . . " you mean that you want to know what a certain word means. But instead, you are giving the definition and asking what word fits that definition. You should ask "What is the word meaning people who hear lyrics over instruments?" When you say that the people "hear lyrics over instruments" you cannot be talking about hearing, because that is not usually a function of the listener. If someone is singing softly and the instruments are playing loudly, you will not be able to hear the vocals over the instruments no matter who you are. That is not a particular type of person. Perhaps you are talking about the kind of person who focuses on the lyrics of a song as opposed to its musical content (which is not a function of the instruments, as the singer's voice provides much musical content). People without a good musical ear are more likely to be interested in the lyric as opposed to the music, so perhaps the word you are looking for is "tone-deaf" which means someone who cannot distinguish one musical tone from another.
