I stay here way off on the right in the mud

"Way off", is it here as modal and means "to mistake"? or it means something like "I stay here aside..."?
Thank you.

Way off means far away , so here it would mean that you were some distance off to the side. You're way off can be used to mean someone is wrong, implying they are not close to being right.

Samuel Beckett writes in a surrealistic style. It is all about inner emotions, dream-like states and patchy memories

He does not write proper sentences here, but broken fragments of thoughts. It is an artistic device to convey the dream-like state.

"I stay there" is not part of the same sentence.
