As for what the song is about, the band offered this quote to Billboard:
Lyrically, the song focuses on the concept of the timeless adage “Don’t shoot the messenger.” Thompkins says TesseracT explored the topic because “the daily news we’re typically subjected to can often leave us feeling bitter, negative and apathetic. We’ve all experienced this. As the album questions the nature of ‘truth,’ ‘Messenger’ questions the truth behind the agenda of those who control what we see and hear in the media. The notion of social conditioning needs confidence to confront and is a perspective that few of us are willing to find.”
Polaris is out Sept. 18th on eOne. Pre-order on Amazon.com.
