"Jealous minds walk in a line/And their faces jade the strain/Stranded in infinity rooms/And they're safe from any harm "
I think he is talking about his memories of his ex here and the "infinity rooms" are those areas in his mind, where, he has successfully buried her and the pain of thinking of her so deep in his head that in reality he's the one safe from harm. The ex would be jealous in his mind because he's just about over her, and he thinks she can't be over him yet. Beck's using plurals, ie. "their" to show his detachment. The "jade the strain" is just referring to the line of green (with envy) faces passing through his mind as he discards them.
That's the most I can make of it that seems to fit with the up-beatness/hopefulness of the rest of the song.
I think the jealous minds are the same people trapped in infinity rooms. By becoming jaded, they defend themselves from the heartbreak they faced before and endure an endless stream of safe, meaningless, indistinguishable relationships. They still wish they could have the thing they once perceived as true love, though, so they're jealous of anyone they think has it.

That's the ending of the story for everyone. You get that one fantastic relationship and then it breaks your heart so bad you tell yourself it was bullshit, so you don't have to relive the moment ever again. Another Sunday rolls...
