Out of Mind Lyrics
I've been up for days
And I feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til I bleed
And I keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can breathe
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight
I've been up for days
And I feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And I reel in the monotony of
Screaming
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can see it
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind
OK
Alright
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
OK
Alright
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...
And I feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til I bleed
And I keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can breathe
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight
And I feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And I reel in the monotony of
Screaming
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can see it
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind
Alright
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
OK
Alright
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...

According to Robert Smith this song's about drugs, and I think that alone basically explains it all. It's about someone who's so addicted to drugs that they dominate their life.
"But as long as I can breathe Then I know I'll be OK"
As long as he feels he's got some kind of hold on awareness, he's quite happy to let the drugs retain control of him, as far as he can see he's OK. He's completely detached from reality, yet he's happy with it, so he's genuinely out of mind. I think in the last verse he's trying to convince someone else to join him in a trip, share the fun of the delusion.
This song is obviously about Star Wars. It describes C3PO's grueling trek through the Tattooine' desert about having an emergency landing on the planet in A New Hope.
