Arcade Fire – My Body Is a Cage Lyrics 12 years ago
That's exactly what I'm feeling at the moment, and the exact reason why I remembered this song and went to listen to it.

As you say, it truly is a remarkable personal confession of a persons own tragedy, this day is the day I realized how delicately amazing it really is.

As for the songwriters standpoint, I think his is driven from the same feeling, and in this case I'd say caused by his fears he isn't a good enough songwriter/musician. He's aware he has ideas, which to him look awesome, but he's not sure the others will really think the same. So he's trying to overcome his fears and trying to let himself do his best.
