My Body is a Cage

I still can’t forget one early Monday’s morning. As usually, I was walking to school and singing The Arcade Fire’s song ‘My body is a cage’.

People of my town heard me singing and they didn’t understand a word I sang, because I sang in English; it was unusual for them to hear somebody singing while walking on the street… They looked at me like I was stupid.

But I didn’t care!

It was a dramatic moment.

I was walking along the road while singing this amazingly unique song with lips, shivering from cold. I was cold; I was doing what everyone is supposed to do… I am a slave of my life. We all are. It’s because that our bodies are cages…

I truly love this song. It has very deep meaning and deep feelings…

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....
