NB was a rather personal album, so I strongly doubt that it was about date rape.
I honestly think its about vulnerability and those who try to fuck with your mind when you're in a vulnerable position---whether it be physically, emotionally, or psychologically.
"Liberate the people that you hate
Then cut yourself again"
You're putting those who have hurt you above yourself, and its killing you inside.
"Elevate then drop back down
And see which ones remain" "
They respect you when you're on top/strong; walk all over you when weak.
"Accusation, does yes mean no?
Or have you changed your mind?
Kill the nation before it grows
And be one of a kind
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it"
More mindplay. He's at her every whim. Probably an implicit feeling of worthlessness laced in there; she's playing around with you "she knows she wants it," but you can't leave her.
"Pretend the steak's a cowboy" - I have to agree with the whole vegetarianism/deception thing. Swallow the crap people feed you if you're led to believe its something else.
