For example : I do it since I am out of interests. Does it contain two levels of meaning? I can't even find one clear meaning.

since I am out of Xs means 'because I have no Xs left'.

I can see how you can be out of eg cigarettes, but it's hard to see how you can be out of interests.

Perhaps you are thinking of this?

I do it out of interest.

This means I do it because it is interesting to me.
