My body is a cage, so I can't dance with the person I love.

My body is a cage that prevents me from dancing with my lover.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key.

My body is a cage, so I can't dance with the person I love.

My body is a cage that prevents me from dancing with my lover.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key.

I am standing on the stage of fear and self-doubt.

I stand on the stage of fear and self-doubt.

It's a boring play, but they will still applaud.

It was an empty performance, but they still applauded.

My body is a cage, so I can't dance with the person I love.

My body is a cage that prevents me from dancing with my lover.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key (open the cage)

You stand next to me.

You stand next to me.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key (shut the cage)

I live in an era in which darkness is called light.

I live in an era called coexistence of light and darkness.

Although my language is dead, my mind is still full of images.

Although I can't speak, my mind is still full of vague concepts.

I live in an era when I don't know my name.

I live in this cold and lonely age.

Although fear makes me motionless, my heart beats so slowly.

Although fear keeps me going, my heart beats so slowly.

My body is a cage, so I can't dance with the person I love.

My body is a cage that prevents me from dancing with my lover.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key (open the cage)

You stand next to me.

You stand next to me.

My body is a cage.

My body is a cage.

We accept what we have been given just because you have forgotten it, which doesn't mean that you have been forgiven.

We take the gift from heaven just because you are forgotten, but it doesn't mean that you are forgiven.

I live in an era of calling my name at night.

I live in an era when my name is screamed at night.

But when I got to the door, there was no one there.

But when I got to the door, no one was there.

My body is a cage, so I can't dance with the person I love.

My body is a cage that prevents me from dancing with my lover.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key (open the cage)

You stand next to me.

You stand next to me.

But my mind holds the key

But my reason holds the key (shut the cage)

release my soul

Release my soul.

release my soul

Release my soul.

Release my body.

Set me free.

Release my body.

Set me free.

release my soul

Release my soul.

Release my body.

Set me free.

Personal understanding

Although this is the work of a Canadian band, the title of Neon Bible Neon Collection is not difficult to remind people of the social chaos in the United States after 9 1 1, considering the writing time and publishing time of the whole album and the pervasive sense of powerlessness and hesitation. Various media spread different views in the ears of westerners, and no matter what you say, the public will applaud. As the last song of this album, this is a cry, a world that does not mislead justice. Imprisoning the body in the material world can't stop the mind from pursuing the truth. Of course, there are saboteurs in the pursuit of truth, but fortunately, reason holds the key, which prevents these people from entering.

A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and so does this song.
