Lyrical relevance is worthless, especially for a game like Oddworld. If the musical shoe doesn't fit then no string of coherent words can save it.

I think the nature of the Oddworld franchise means that ambient music will always trump lyrical music just because of the atmosphere. Any sort of 'lyrics' would probably have to be chanted and tribalistic or droning and industrial to play on a duality with the actual area you are exploring.
With that being said I didn't think 'Born to Love You' was an inherently bad song. It was so-so in the sense that it's almost pop-chart worthy. It's also great that a fan got to do the music, must have meant everything to her. I haven't played NnT yet so I don't know if it features actually in-game but if it's only in the credits then I don't have any qualms. It's not like it'll ruin the immersion of names scrolling across my screen.
