In short: \lyricmode is just a marker that says "the following input
characters should be interpreted as lyrics, rather than notes". \lyricsto is
a function, which aligns lyrics to notes.
So in \lyricsto you need a voice to align lyrics to, while in \lyricmode you
need to specify the duration of each syllable manually.
So: You always want to use lyricsto, but if you want to store a line of lyrics
in a variable, use lyricmode and then use lyricsto to align that variable to
music.
