>If you change your mind constantly, never holding down any specific views or beliefs, you can make it through life without any conflict.
I got this, too, but I'm not sure how it fits with Johns' own description of the song.
He's said that it's about being taken advantage of when you're in a vulnerable position. It's tempting to interpret the song as a commentary on date rape, but NB was a very personal album. It wasn't about things he saw on tv (like FS was), but about his life. So, I'm thinking that he's comparing his own relationship with someone to date rape - someone he trusted has betrayed him.
'Pretend the steak's a cowboy' - could relate to him being a vegan, in a very symbolic way (you can swallow the crap people feed you if you pretend it's something else)
'And the kiss will kill you' - this has to be a reference to the Judas kiss, the kiss of a friend who betrays">

By hurting yourself you are only helping your "enemies"
I think it's the other way around - by letting your enemies walk all over you, you cut yourself (metaphorically).
If you change your mind constantly, never holding down any specific views or beliefs, you can make it through life without any conflict.
