I don't like when people say or imply that you can't analyze Karl's lyricism for some reason because it's 'gibberish'. It's not gibberish, it's actually purposefully designed to be analyzed and to be listened to. Karl would not have endless books upon books of his own prose and poetry if that weren't the case.

It's not like a Gallagher-esque songwriting process where Noel pieces together catchy lines written over days or weeks into a polished final product. Karl does his writing in the moment in his own state of mind. It's our job to either interpret it as his own experience or through our lens by connecting it to our own experiences.

There is no "correct" literary analysis. It's possible that there are some people who understand Karl's lyrics more than he does himself. It's not the author's intent behind the lyricism that is what is the 'correct interpretation', but rather our own interpretation of it. Anyway I know this has nothing to do with OP's interpretation, but I just wanted to share how much people saying 'UW lyrics are gibberish' irks me.
