I think keiichi was kinda saying his state of his mind, with a metaphor : the world he is talking about would be his mind, or his perception, where the "real" world doesn't exist anymore, where he is alone with the "footsteps".
in his mind, he is doomed, in such extent he thinks he is very dead in the real world. (he would be killed anytime soon...)
with this, we can say that keiichi feels that his inner perception is completely crushed, where time and space are simply messed up. this would be then : a description about what he feels, where the time "outside" of this world, thus, the real world time, doesn't have any power within his thoughts.
