Gabriel, Peter - My Body Is A Cage Lyrics
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
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
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
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a...
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
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
They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free

Dark: Like
House MD: Comment
Jovan Tomic Best TV-Show ever!

Not just but the start of the Dark.
A Song for ALL those whose bodies have imprisoned them .. a body waging constant warfare .. Autoimmunity , is it ? .. WHY would your body turn against you .. ? .. Someones have poisoned you , and have confused your body's military > the Immune System .. they They THEY have caused a conflict between Body & Self .. and the body launches attacks on , Not legitimate enemies .. pathogens / virii / bacteria / fungi / parasites .. from the Outside coming in , as it should be bee .. .... . . . . nooooo , the Body is Confused .. it attacks Itself .. your own tissue , your own organ systems .. your Immune Military is on High Alert constantly .. uP-regulated they call it .. it Wears you dowwwwwn .. it ::: s a p s ! ::: you .. Your body can NOT maintain 'semper vigilans' .. ALWAYS VIGILANT .. always ready to attack .. and within that constant Battle , the 'Fog of War' sets in................. and your body engages in 'Friendly Fire' .. and your Body in This CAGE . . . . . needs Release , and surely yes , The Mind Holds the Key ~*
It's not a question of where, it's when.
This song defines me as a person. I have pain in all of my joints and it takes a lot to move every day. But I have a friend at school who keeps me going through it all. I thank him greatly!
so fuking awful

It’s weird hearing actual words and not a baritone duet, followed by a horn snap and a giant wall of brass sound.
CANNONBAAAAAL!!!
SCV 2018 damn
this is in my happyness playlist...
*because this song makes depressed*
It's almost the ending of 2019. Is it Lupus yet?
Nop😂
It's never lupus
This is awful. The original blows this away. This song has no heart. Its a facade. Its like an Olive Garden.
Original has a soul: Listen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhhZdune_5Q
Don't go to the link. It's like some goat is being slaughtered.
@Ramu Col Fake news. Also, I'm a vegan, wouldn't do that to you :)
LogicSpeaks This song is far better than the one in your link
Who is here for reviews after dark?
Sad song...😭😭😭
Woah they copied scv! Fools
**hornet intensifies**
After your dancing partner gets arrested:
My Buddy's in a cage. That keeps me from dancing with the one I love. Mind holding my keys?
You guys should check out Arcade Fire original version. IMO it is better than Gabriel's version.
serkan karaismailoğlu öneri???
Hi hornet.
“ Everybody lies “
I love Peter Gabriel but Arcade Fire’s version is much better.

Who else is here from House
der anfang ist das ende und das ende ist der anfang
I’m a trans man and my gf is also trans we had no idea we were trans when we met (both closested) and at first her parents didn’t want me with her because I was trans so this song is like dambbbb
Yow, Trans man as well. My boyfriend had a hard time processing it (he is straight but he loves me, and felt like these two things couldn't come together). Now he says he will spend his whole life with me, and support me if I decide to transition. Sometimes it takes time to find new markes, and I hope it'll get better

What the fuck is santa clara vanguard?
I’m in marching band, and this is our second movement. And it’s such an amazing song to hear and play.
Si vous passez par là: salut les kheys du forum==> from human to légume :^)
I'm here because Peter Gabriel is musical genius.
The line that goes “I’m living in an age that screams my name at night, but when I get to the doorway, there’s no one in sight” always gets to me. I can never figure out if the singer is saying he’s happy that no one’s screaming for him, or sad that no one’s calling out for him. Either way, it makes the song even more haunting.
old is gold ♥💛
Anyone listening in 2052?
Who listens to this in ...
1920
1953

2019
2020
2053 ?????????
this is one of the songs we play in my marching band show. so pretty.
The only reason you're listening to this is D A R K!
Nope, House.
mfw I get rejected by bugs
Am I the only one who loves this song since day one when the album this is on was released (long before songs were picked off the CD to be used in shows)?
It's nice when a show brings people to an artist and hope they look up other music from them but where are the Peter Gabriel fans (even casual fans).
Keep pushing onward. You don't have to lose it all. Please, don't jump. Or do whatever you're thinking.
You aren't thinking clearly. Please, dear God, don't do it.
Netflix loves Peter Gabriel.
"You don't listen, do you? You just ask the same questions every week. How's your job? Are you having any negative thoughts? All I have... are negative thoughts."

CANNONBAAAAAALLLLL !!!!!!!

Goddamnit hornet
Hornet still waits
Remember, Salubra was rejected too
Great lyrics and my truth... and she doesn't know. Yet.
Well... House MD > Dark, sorry y'all x)
I loved House/Dark, still do, but all the House/Dark fans are serving to only cheapen how beautiful Peter Gabriel's cover of Arcade Fire is.
Hornet: MY BODY IS A CAGE
@G_E_B a YouTuber called graveyard media has a running gag in his hollow knight series that whenever he talks to an NPC called hornet this song will play.
@fun fox yeah, i know that, but im more interested in the origin of this.
@G_E_B the origin of what
@fun fox the origin of this meme. Like, when and why did this meme become a thing.
@G_E_B I don't know
ketamine
Caaannoooooonnn baaaaaaaalllll !!!
This is a cover of the Arcade Fire tune. It is from Neon Bible. Gabriel's version is up to the task. No surprises there.
