Is this phrase one sentence, or two? How can you tell?


So I'm translating this song (full lyrics
[here](http://vocaloidlyrics.wikia.com/wiki/%E5%93%B2%E5%AD%A6%E3%83%8B%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88_\(Tetsugaku_Neet\)))
and this song has a lot of phrases like this:

> 哲学哲学哲学ニート  
>  揺れる幻に酔いしれて
>
> Philosophy, philosophy, philosophy NEET  
>  (I'm) intoxicated in the swaying illusion

I'm not sure, however, if the first and second sentences are supposed to be
connected with an inferred particle, i.e. "Philosophy, philosophy NEETs are
intoxicated in a swaying illusion."

This patterns repeats, and most times it seems unclear, although at the end
there is this phrase:

> ああ哲学哲学哲学ニート  
>  僕は迷い込んだ幻想ゆめの中

Here, it seems more like the first line is separate from the first, but I
don't know if that's a sign that ALL of the lines should be like that, or if
it's just this one - or perhaps this could be connected also, with both the
NEETs and "I" being the subject.

So my question is this: Are these lines connected, gramatically? How can you
tell if they are or not?

Thank you!




This is actually a common thing in Japanese songs. I've even asked multiple
Japanese people over the years about whether certain lines in songs are
connected and they themselves tell me "I don't know." I've also been told that
"maybe the lyricist wrote it to be vague on purpose so you can make your own
interpretation". I've been learning Japanese 10 years and now when I come
across lyrics like those, I usually ignore them (relative clauses are the
worst).

Personally I think it's connected just because it makes the most sense that
way to me, and also because the other lines like that also seem to be
connected. I think you should not think about it too hard.

I'd love to hear what the natives here have to say though.
