“My Body Is a Cage” is the contemplative final track of Arcade Fire’s 2007 sophomore album, Neon Bible. The drum beat in the background beats like a heart’s pulse, and the baroque-like backing pipes create an intense listening experience.

[Chorus]
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love,

[Verse 2]
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving,
Still my heart beats so slow
[Chorus]
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

That screams my name at night,
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
That laughs
When I'm dancing
With the one I love,
But my mind holds the key
[Interlude]
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
[Outro]
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
