As you have noted, if you attach a TextScript to a note in a stave,
then LilyPond considers it part of that stave and keeps the vertical
order of the different contexts (staves, lyric lines, ...).

However, you can instead attach a textual annotation to a lyrics
syllable, using a text markup command. Let's say that your syllable
is "I" and that you want to add "Shout!" on top of it, than you can
use \lyricmode{  \override LyricText #'direction = #UP
 ... \markup{ \dir-column { I Shout! } } ...

If you instead want the annotation below a syllable, then you can use
the \column markup command and don't have to bother about setting the
direction property.
