Second that angill973- this song is absolutely amazing. I only really noticed how catchy it is after they released it as a single...love it. The way the line "Angel, you mean nothing to me" was said inspired me to look for a meaning but, ironically, here there is none!
Here's my attempt. Most of this song seems to be about ideas...the chorus, principally: "I am the message" i.e. the essence, what gives life, intelligence; "you are the machine" i.e. simply a mechanical method of transmitting that. For that "angel," - more idealistic imagery - "you mean nothing to me".
Secondly, in the first verse they're taking up arms for "virtues", partly to save themselves; yet they "[will] die tonight": again, ideals above practical reality.
Finally, we have the "reflection of all your impurities"; as Jefferson showed, no ideas translate perfectly to reality.
Thus, perhaps, this is a song about almost the essence, the 'soul', if you will, higher ideals...
This rather tenuous link is all I can infer; however, knowing Fightstar, it might just be another awesome song like Grand Unification Pt 1 with no meaning whatsoever!
