Didn't you read my first answer? To elaborate on the second alternative,
I thought of something like:

textwithoutmusic = \lyrics{ \skip 1*30 Some4 ly- rics2 ... }
textwithmusic = \lyrics{ The text with me- lo- dy ... }

\score {
  <
    \addlyrics
      \context Staff = one {
        \property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
        \melody
      }
      \context LyricsVoice = mylyrics \textwithmusic
    \context LyricsVoice = mylyrics \textwithoutmusic
  >
  ...
}

The idea is to use the \textwithoutmusic to fill the bars that
didn't have any melody and use explicit durations only for those
bars. Use \skip to place it at the correct location.
