I know some people who exist with TV as their background noise. I find it terribly distracting, because TV is designed to demand visual and audio attention. Classical music is also designed for active listening, and even without much formal musical education, I can sense this and, like you, I find it unsuited to background music. Same for music with lyrics in general. If you are saying something to me, it requires a degree of focus. Same for words in songs.
