I think this song is about a person who has been severely hurt by someone they love and is mentally refusing to forget and forgive and to get back together. The body wants to be with the lover but the mind is being stubborn avoiding the chances of possibly being hurt again.

Basically, the body is keeping the emotions locked up as if it were a cage which is being controlled by the mind.
