Yeah that thing about no girl lyrics is tough. That's one of the things I noticed most about metal when I was first getting into it... pretty much the only music that isn't mostly about relationships. But I'm sure there's a lot of specific bands who don't do much relationship songs. There's probably a lot of punk bands that just sing about politics and destruction. The first badn that comes to my mind as far as non-girly lyrics is Pink Floyd. They do have some relationship songs but for the msot part that's not what they sing about, and for some reason they seem to be one of the most loved non-metal bands among metal fans.
Lots of people probably mentioned Pink Floyd already, but they fit. Most of their stuff is not upbeat, not relationship-based, not blues-based. I'd reccomend getting the Saucerful of Secrets album. I'd say it's up the alley of a metalhead. Not that it's heavy or anything but that its sound is fairly intricate and underground. It's also 70s prog which you said you might like (well, late 60s actually). And the title track is a 7 minute instrumental. If you like Saucerful or even if you don't and want to give Pink Floyd another try, you can go from there to albums like Atom Heart Mother, and Meddle. Lots of great downbeat and instrumental stuff on those.
You might like some Yes. I wouldn't say their music is about relationships, their lyrics are just totally abstract. But they could be called girly. Not ABOUT girls though. I reccomend the album Close To The Edge. Or even Fragile which is probably my personally favorite. I guess Yes is pretty upbeat though. Not HAPPY, but musically upbeat.
