My Body is a Cage

[killermoo3]

johnbaggs1he has the perfect voice for this die in hell

[johnbaggs1]

I like the lyrics, but this guy can't sing for shit!

[NoObBrEAkA]

Hammer !!!! Einfach nur Geil.

[58akdude]

@MCRMom your a n00b. how can you even say that? I've listened to the peter gabriel version of this song and yes it is a very nice way for him to sing this song, but no one can beat this kind of love for music as the man who sings this song. you can hear it when he is singing and even when he is silent during this song you can hear the emotion he put into this song.

[motherpopcorn504]

I understanding it as being back withGod. Love this band :)

[MCRMom]

Peter Gabriel who originally did this song has more passion and feeling that you can hear in his voice as he sings it.

[highsh0tt]

@MCRMom NO.

[TheNBDStudios]

@MCRMom he didn't do the original. this is the original.

[PolishBerserker]

@MCRMom Mr. Sledgehammer did not originate this song, he merely covered it. Get your facts straight before making accusations or observations.

[chippy783]

it's all about fear,,, isn't it?

[noopdog9991]

It is the Eagle Nebula.

[Writersblock39]

[Bloodzwurth]

[darkpillz]

Dad: My body is a cage...

Son: Dad are you cage?

Sorry it just had to be written...

STILL!

Awesome song!

[jydra]

The voice of god can be heard through pieces like this one.

[sirwilliamreunited]

last but not least when people meditate and reach different plains all have said they have seen geometric shapes all around. Just thought this was very interesting sync up to this song just another way of looking at it. I definitely recommend looking up the pineal gland and keeping a open mind though the info is pretty cool. its glorified all around us and we never even knew... but why? hmmm maybe there is more to this thing then we think

[TheDestinyDragoon]

@sirwilliamreunited Wow, you wrote a lot. I suppose music like this brings these thoughts out of people.

[sirwilliamreunited]

and also the language thing most languages are dead the truly spiritual tribes who had made very important discoveries before we came in killed them and took their land not to mention the American language in known to be the most easily misunderstood cause more communication breakdowns causing more trouble.

[sirwilliamreunited]

destroys the land horribly is killing people and destroying the water systems in these states for all -that would be the darkness ***although*** the "light spin" they put on it is that we are finding natural resources lol.

[sirwilliamreunited]

I'm living in an age

That calls darkness light

Though my language is dead

Still the shapes fill my head

I also though as we march towards destroying the earth more and more but put a positive spin on it for example we are fracking the ground in 30 some states which

[sirwilliamreunited]

but we are so wrapped into labels and our ahitty ways that we are destroying ourselves and earth. take this for what it is i just though this was really cool cause I could match it to these new things I have been reading anywho thanks for taking the time to read it if you did

[sirwilliamreunited]

I can say I don't believe in god or religion I just believe in earth and the goodness of humans and after reading all this new info i think once we stop labeling everything and learn to change our perspectives then we will start to function.

[sirwilliamreunited]

I'm standing on the stage

Of fear and self-doubt

It's a hollow play

But they'll clap anyway

this I think refers to human psychology we are so opressed by the news, tv, gov, food, this is good one day now this isnt good we are always juging and hurting instead of lifting and preserving we are doing so much damage when in reality we have forgotten how to just love and not judge. so as much as people don't want to admit it to there false ego's on the inside they really urn for a sense of truth.

[sirwilliamreunited]

My body is a cage

We take what we're given

Just because you've forgotten, that don't mean you're forgiven

we take everything never ask questions and just do do do its the downfall of our kind because we lack to pursue self knowledge but just because we are sucked into our false ego doesn't mean this trip is over we still have much to realize.

[sirwilliamreunited]

I'm living in an age

Still turning in the night

But when I get to the doorway

There's no one in sight

they say we are closer to reality in our dreams we are taught not to take them serious when in reality they are very very important and that is what I thought he may have meant here when he gets closer t setting himself free through dreams(which is a way to astral project) but he is unable to release himself

[sirwilliamreunited]

I'm living in an age

Whose name I don't know

Though the fear keeps me moving

Still my heart beats so slow"

we do live in a age constantly moving forward little info actually coming to us that is of importance yet even though so much war destruction and death is going on we still are forced to move3 forward in fear but our moral is low like our heads

[sirwilliamreunited]

=they also say we know who we are but because of materialism and losing the real way of living we are forced into society and forget who we really are so we spend lifetimes in false egos

[sirwilliamreunited]

one learning how to do this they say we can truly live because we are more advance then we think so one getting to this level you are truly free to be with who you want because there is no time or space holding you back just you. they say since we are so divorced from spirit ( not meaning religion or any of that bull crap) real spirit just being connected with the earth so thats why we are forced to be bound here in these bodies

[sirwilliamreunited]

have been doing a lot of spiritual reading lately ( the cultures that be;ieve god is inside us all aka pineal gland, astral projecting and so on and it links to this song perfectly I must say no god.

[sirwilliamreunited]

This is just my interpretation of course but this is how it goes. our bodies are cages because we aren't really tought how to use them they say if you learn to meditate well and learn to use your chakras you can activate them to meditate yourself to ned planes and dimensions by using the "key" in your head the pineal gland.

[secretnerd21]

I burst into tears when they had this song on House a couple of weeks ago. It perfectly describes his relationship with Cuddy. He loves her so much, but because of who he is they can't be together, but he needs her more than anything in the world, and there will always be that missig empty part of him because of that. His body is a cage...

[redheadedwoman82]

Not gonna lie...I like the cover Peter Gabriel did better *runs for cover*

[Kriftonucci]

@redheadedwoman82 Unless you were the 1 disliker, don't worry. Opinions are highly respected amongst us Arcade Fire fans ;)

[greybliss]

@redheadedwoman82 I have to agree with you here, he made it more atmospheric, but none the less this is amazing, and u have to give them props for wrighting such a brilliant song

[highsh0tt]

I like the beat that they have in the background and the way he prolongs the last letters at the end of every sentence. AF is awesome, such a special style.

[jfredericks]

When you lose someone you love from this world, and you are still here stuck on earth when all you want is to be with them. At this point your body is a cage that keeps you from them. Assuming when you die your consciousness or spirit lives on after you die. This song explains everything if you just listen. This song is pure genius, and art exploding like electrons in a Haldron Collider. Haunting, beautiful and enlightening at the same time.

[erikslilangel00phan]

You want someone so badly you can't stand it....but you just can't have them. Something, especially you, always gets in the way...

I love the Arcade Fire forever!

[perthskates]

does that space image warp or am i trippin?

[underthebloodredsky]

This song is so haunting and so good.

[falloutboyfan4eve]

wat is this too a movie or something??? i NEED to know!

[rockincutegirl45]

the first time i heard this song i fell in love with it

[TheMoe234]

If u dont like justin bieber up this commet

[JeffHardy640]

@TheMoe234 that was random

[BunnyGrrrl666]

When you have a disabling disease or illness, this song really hits home. Randomly bed-ridden for weeks or even months at a time (for almost ten years now), the physical limitation of FMS isn't the hardest part...it's the lack of compassion that really hurts. I have become a recluse out of necessity...not by choice. There is no cure for me, or even long term relief...thus no hope for "recovery". My body feels like a cage. Just how it is...

[BluelightSpike]

Good god BunnyGrrrl666, i totally get your point...

[BunnyGrrrl666]

@BluelightSpike - long time to reply (been illin')...but thanks for the encouraging words! Rock on - even if it's only in a chair - hahahaha! XOXOXO

[gigante1593]

@BunnyGrrrl666 :'(

[funfabmegan]

it feels like at the end as though the narrator is begging the one who loves him to let him go..to set his mind and spirit free from her. Maybe he feels its her fault that he cant let go, This song is very disturbing for me. Very spiritual. and makes me sad and guilty. I suppose its possible for two spirts to be lost.. knowing one another and longing for the other yet always missing one another...im not sure i suppose ill have to listen more than once.

[protecter77]

@funfabmegan well dude im telling you you whenever you listan to canadian rock especial ones from my hometown like this one you should expect them to make you feel emotions you never did while listaning to it

and this song is almost about my life and its from my town wierd right XD

[PolishBerserker]

@funfabmegan The reason you long for the other is because you do not recall the horrible times you both had together when assessing "wants", you only remember the good times you had, and would like them to continue, but they never will. Only depression will persist.

[missandcourt64]

i thought this song was going to be stupid but i get this song...
