Cover art for Messenger lyrics by Blonde Redhead

To me it seems that this guy is singing about how difficult it is being a messenger. all those letters you've got to deliver, all those people expecting so much of you, so many jealous hands longing to find out what's in those letters...But you get nothing instead. Why can't you keep anything to yourself? Might sound banal but that's what i think.
