見るように meaning in this song


The first two lines of Error by GARNiDELiA are

> 壊れてしまったモノを見るように
>
> おかしなことだと誰もが言う

I'm fairly confident it means, "Looking at (you) like something broken-
everyone says it's strange." This would make it fit the tone of the rest of
the song.

But I'm really having trouble piecing together this sentence. If it was:

> 壊れてしまったモノのように見るのが
>
> おかしなことだと誰もが言う

It would make sense to me. I've looked a lot online for an example of ように
being used in the way in this song but I'm not finding anything beyond XがV-
たように meaning "As X did V." But that's in the past tense.




It would be most reasonable to understand it as

> 壊れてしまったモノを見るように（私を見ながら）

which is closer to your interpretation (except who is being looked at). The
subject is _everybody_ , so that it means _Looking at me as if they were
looking at broken things, everybody says it is a strange thing_. Here what is
described as strange is the speaker's ideas, behavior, etc.

> 壊れてしまったモノのように見るのが

would mean _Looking at (something) as if it were broken_ and the second line
would mean that is the strange thing.
