Internals Reference says:
"2.1.6 Devnull
Silently discards all musical information given to this context."
so I'm guessing all that's left is the note columns.

I assume that "standalone" and "float" mean that the position on the
x-axis is constrained by the staff above, but not on the y-axis.
So you could try:
music = { c'4(~ 2) d'4 }
words = \lyricmode { a b c }
<<
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "1" \music
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" \words
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" { \once \override LyricText.font-size = #-19 ‧ }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" { \once \override LyricText.font-size = #-19 ‧ }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" { this floats }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" { \once \override LyricText.font-size = #-19 ‧ }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" { \once \override LyricText.font-size = #-19 ‧ }
>>
\new Staff <<
\new Voice { c'2 d' e' f' }
\addlyrics { next score comes here }
>>
I've cheated with the y-axis spacing; there are better ways I'm sure.
But I'm not really sure what you're after exactly.
Cheers,
