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
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
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
My mind holds the key
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... is a... is a...
My body is a cage
My body is a cage
But my mind holds the key

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 as 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 body free, free.

''My Body Is A Cage'' is a song by Arcade Fire, released in Neon Bible, the second album by the Canadian indie rock band, in March 2007 on Merge Records.

Neon Bible became Arcade Fire's highest charting album at the time, debuting on the Billboard 200 at number two, selling 92,000 copies in its first week and more than 400,000 to date.
Being released within a month of similarly successful releases by The Shins (Wincing the Night Away) and Modest Mouse (We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank), Neon Bible was cited as an example of the popularization of indie rock.
Critics offered the self-produced Neon Bible mostly favorable reviews.
Publications like NME and IGN praised the album for its grandiose nature, while Rolling Stone and Uncut said that it resulted in a distant and overblown sound.

Production

Following the release of Funeral (2004), which had been recorded in an attic studio known as Hotel2Tango, Arcade Fire decided a permanent recording location was necessary.
Following their tour in support of Funeral, the band bought the Petite Église in Farnham, Quebec.
Being used as a café at the time of purchase, the Petite Église had once been a church and a Masonic Temple.
Once renovation of the church was complete, the band spent the latter half of 2006 recording a majority of the album there.
They additionally recorded in Budapest, where a Hungarian orchestra and a military men's choir were used.
Other sessions included one in New York, where the band recorded along the Hudson River to be near water.

Having recorded so many different, and sometimes conflicting, ideas for each song, it was decided that for the mixing it would be a good idea to get someone else to come in.
The band sent tracks to several well-known mixers/producers to experiment with and after deciding they liked Nick Launay's ideas best, invited him up to their studio to work on the songs further.
For a month Launay worked with the album's engineer and co-producer Marcus Strauss on the mixing of each song, with the band regularly driving up from Montreal to assess their progress.
In an interview with HitQuarters, Launay described the mixing process as a "playful thing".
