When I was in high school I dosed up and listened to Junta. The lyrics to David Bowie and Fluff's travels stood out. I kept thinking Trey Anastasio is a genius. I didn't know that Tom Marshall wrote most of their lyrics and I'm not sure if Trey wrote these or not. But when you're writing music that's on this level writing lyrics to divulge a viewpoint on politics (not that phish has ever done that) or spirituality or anything deep it would just take away from the music.
