My Body Is a Cage (Finnick and Annie)

Finnick and Annie, again. I can't help it, they're just too cute! The handcuffs symbolize the way the Capitol owns him. It's as if he's in a prison, I think. He can't do anything, otherwise they would hurt Annie. He can't be the one he'd like to be, he always has to behave the way Snow wants him to... It's awfull...

Lyrics are from My Body Is a Cage, by Arcade Fire. IT'S SUCH AN AWESOME SONG!!! It reminds me of Finnick and Annie. Cause they probably went to lots of parties and balls in the Capitol, and there Finnick of course had to dance with other women. Well, not only dance... But, you know, he couldn't "dance with the one he loved" because of... his body. Because he was too sexy. Because he had to offer his body to other people. His own body was a cage. That's why I think the song suits so well. By the way, now I'm completely obsessed with Arcade Fire, I love their songs. But this one's my favourite.

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

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

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
Doesn'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
That laughs
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
