Overall Meaning

MIA's song "The Message" is a commentary on modern society's dependence on technology and how it contributes to the erosion of privacy and personal freedom. The repeated phrase "connected to the Google, connected to the government" serves as a stark reminder of how our every move is being monitored by powerful entities for their own gain. The reference to body parts connecting also emphasizes the idea that our physical bodies are now linked intimately with the digital realm, blurring the boundaries between our online and real-life identities.
