i'm not sure to understand the problem - does the following help? it will
skip 18 notes of the melody:

<<
  \new Voice = mel \relative { c d e f c d e f c d e f c d e f c d e f c d e
f c d e f c d e f c d e f }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto mel { c d e f \repeat unfold 18 \skip 4 c d e f c d
e f }
>>

if this doesn't help you should consider using named parts in the melody,
e.g.:

<<
        \new Voice \relative { 
    c d e f c d e f 
          \new Voice = "melpart2" \relative { a b c d  a b c d  a b c d  a b c 
d  a
b c d  a b c d  a b c d }
        }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melpart2" { \repeat unfold 3 { this is my text! } }
>>
