Peter Gabriel - My Body is A Cage (with lyrics)
Peter Gabriel - My Body is A Cage
A great song by Peter Gabriel,
The body is keeping the emotions locked up as if it were a cage which is being controlled by the mind.

This song is ultimately about God...that you all have forgotten. "Just because you've forgotten That don't mean you're forgiven" They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
I think the lyric is different, with a quite different meaning: 'Just because YOU'RE forgotten' [not 'you've], Doesn't mean you're forgiven'. Your interpretation is very fundamentalist Christian, having to do with the punishment of those who forget God; that is not the theme of the lyrics, which have to do rather with feeling powerless, with a misalignment between one's body and one's mind, one's desires and one's physical limitations, one's self-perception and self-understanding and the way one is perceived/ignored by one's society. The lyric has NOTHING to do with Christianity and the doctrine of punishment. The poet is singing 'just because you're forgotten' (even in the case that your socially imposed/socially perceived bodily self is forgotten by society), even that social 'death' doesn't entail the end of your suffering----you will still not be 'forgiven'---your externally perceived social self will suffer due to the perception of others. This could be due to your *internalizing the hatred* of your external, social self (if you are 'unloved' due to being physically deformed, disabled, different, a social reject for whatever reason) or it could be due to your inheriting the rejection of your 'type': even if your individual self is 'forgotten', you are still rejected/unforgiven as falling into a type. As they poet sings, the only way to fight back is to remind oneself: my mind holds the key. I'm not what I am projected to be by society.
Great song for immortaliry

Knowing you have problems Wanting to do something Knowing you have to But powerless to act Against the darkness within you
Die Apokalypse
Such perfect last song for funeral 😥
This song is so dramatic.😒 Life is a gift. its not a tragedy reserved for 7billion people. You are not depressed, you are under pression. Life is all about pression (bills to pay, children, women in yoga pants i mean 🤷♂). You know just, stop with the cry baby bullshit and get the job done! You have the power to improve your life.

Rewatching Lucifer May 2022
THIS IS FU*KING HORRIBLE!!! WHAT A SHITTY COVER OF ARCADE FIRE'S MASTERPIECE! HE IS CLEARLY TRYING TO COPY WHAT JOHNNY CASH DID WITH TRENT REZNOR'S "HURT". PATHETIC. JUST PATHETIC.
Shut up
Prettiest song (cover) Mr. Gabriel sung!
DARK bought me here
Best show PERIOD...sorry Breaking Bad.
WE ARE FALLEN AND OUR BODIES WILL DIE. HOW CAN WE SET OUR SPIRITS FREE? GOD, JESUS, IS THE ONLY WAY. PLEASE READ AND ACCEPT ETERNAL LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU! 1 Corinthians 1:29 “That no flesh should glory in his presence.” Romans 7:21-25 "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." JESUS SPEAKS TO A WOMAN AND TELLS HER, AND US, WHO HE IS John 4:24-26 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he." JESUS, THE SAVIOR OF OUR SPIRITS FROM SIN. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, JESUS, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED! Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
The way Lucifer smiled while stabbing that gunamn..... Amazing.
And they tell you never to bring a knife to a gun fight.
Anyone in 2022 ?🥲
Anyone in 2022?
Theres some sort power in this song, like a magic incantation.
House, season 7, epi 16 brought me here... I would never have guessed that the song was being sung my Peter Gabriel, The Lamb Lies Down notwithstanding. Fantastic!
"What do we do when we win? PARTY!! What do we do when we lose?PARTY HARDER!!"
Me neither! Amazing song.
I found this for the same reason...at conclusion of the same House episode. Because our body's physical senses limit us to such a narrow range of perception of the quantum reality that surrounds us, in some ways, it is a cage. At the same time, without those protections, the overload of the sensory input would be way too much exposure for our insufficiently developed minds. Maybe someday we will realize that we're already dancing with the one we love.
It also brought me here 😭
Thanx DARK
I love this song, one minor detail though: At 4:50 the lyrics printed in the video read: "I'm living in an age; That laughs; When I'm dancing; With the one I love" The lyrics that are sang are actually as follows: "I'm living in an age; And I realize; I am dancing; With the one I love"
Thank You
I noticed that also. Both have valid interpretation.
That's because Peter's version is not the original. He is covering a song by the Arcade Fire. The lyrics in the video are taken from the original Arcade Fire lyrics but Peter changed this line. I would love to know why. Personally I like Peter's lyric as an addition to the Arcade Fire lyric but not in place of. Like the song is one in a million because it is so honest and doesn't sugarcoat the hard part. And reality is you can think you're better and try to do what you feel you're meant to do and then someone will laugh at you and set you back. As a queer woman with a chromosomal disorder and health problems this song hits on both fronts. You face your physical and emotional limitations and still achieve something and then you are faced with derision and prejudice. However trying and putting myself out there has given me the experiences and feelings I need to keep going, hope to try again, and think life has something worth living for. I have a wife so "realize I'm dancing with the one I love" has also happened and I'm grateful for that. In short I like Peter's line but I like the original more because I feel it keeps the honesty of the challenges that is essential to the song. But Peter's also has truth and is a nice addition. Again I would love to hear Peter's reason for changing the lyric
Anyone else here because of the show Lucifer?
One of my favorite artist.. Peter Gabriel is one of a kind.. Beautiful.. Dark brought me here..
