As a couple of you noted, Robert Smith says it's about "the sickness of lust". Which is awesome, because it allows you to fit the song's meaning into your own life. But I think that the sickness of lust in "The Kiss" is specifically molestation. "Kiss me, kiss me...", "tongue like poison", and "love me, love me..." refers to the way victims are groomed to allow it. You nail me to the floor and push my guts all inside out" ought to be self-explanatory at this point, but Smith does something clever here. While grammatically speaking, the repetitive "get it out"s belong to the line, "Get your fucking voice out of my head", they way they are so painfully produced indicates emotionally they belong to the previous lines detailing the anal rape. As a survivor of molestation, just one time thank every deity, that spoke loudly and clearly to me on my very first listen, back in the 80's.
