Best Answer
Most of the music is without lyrics. However, some tracks do include lyrics, but not all are in real languages. The ones that include lyrics in actual languages have lyrics sung in your chosen language for dialogue. (The main example I'm thinking of is "Birth of a Wish", which, depending on your language setting, will have the robots chant "This Cannot Continue" or "Kono Mama Ja Dame")
That is, if you chose Japanese audio, the lyrics will be in Japanese, whereas if you chose English, the lyrics will be in English.
The rest of the music with lyrics, however, appears to be in a made-up language, similar to the dialogue in Gravity Rush. See this thread:
