the phrase hand to mouth refers to a sense of "just barely surviving" - the idea that whatever you get you need it to live, you don't have extravagances or extras.
in this song, i think they are giving an excellent illustration of how the barest existence and survival gives you an idea of what life is really about. it isn't about "the chitter chatter" - the media, the celebrities, the meaningless talk.
it also has an existential side - humans are simply temporary, and it kinda questions what the purpose of our life is besides surviving it.
