Josh Homme has stated that he was legally dead after a mess up in surgery. This song is relating to what he experienced on the operating table.
"Far beyond the desert road
Where everything ends up
So good, the empty space, mental erase
Forgive, forgot"
This is where he was during the moments when he was "dead" and the feeling of elation he had being there. The chorus is when he was brought back by the doctors, and the second verse is the feeling afterwards.
