I think this song is about guilt, the depth and breadth of it, the sneaking influence it has, the self-awareness it brings, the private fear that becomes crippling, but, it always starts as something very small, something unsuspicious, some even soothing, like water. But water, though unsuspecting, is dangerously powerful. Especially think "few can decipher who the message is from" is speaking in regards to the quiet whisper of conscience.
