Lyric discussion by Sepulchrave 

Cover art for Messenger lyrics by Blonde Redhead

Oh, I love this song. I think the song is about a girl growing up in an abused home. It sounds like her father's friends sexually abuse her and she hates it so she lives in her mind. The messages she carries could be from the father to the mother, or perhaps more business related, but either way, you can feel the girl's despair.
