Suspended In Gaffa
Ra Ra Riot Lyrics

Out in the garden is half of a heaven
The garden is a beautiful place but only half of what heaven must be like.

We're only bluffing, what not, what's for best?
We are pretending and are unsure of what to do, wondering what is the best course of action.

And through walls what they told us
We hear messages coming through the walls about what we should do.

Unless we can prove that we're doing it, We can't have it all
If we cannot prove that we are taking the right steps, we will not be able to achieve our dreams.

He's gonna wangle a way to get out of, And she's an excuse and a wit that's on top on
He will try to find a way out while she uses her intelligence to think of excuses.

Suddenly my feet, don't feet of mine, It all goes slow-mo, I don't know why I'm crying
I feel disconnected from myself and everything seems to slow down. I'm not certain of the reason but I feel emotional.

Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Am I stuck in a place I cannot escape from?

Not 'til I am really for you, Not 'til I am really for you, Can I have it all?
Only when I am fully committed to my goals and aspirations, can I achieve everything I want.

It tried to get nearer but as it gets clearer, There's something, there are bee's in the way, it's a plank in me
As I try to move closer to my goals, I become aware of obstacles in my way that I must overcome.

I with a camera who's trying to get through it, Am I doing it, can I have it all now?
I am looking at the situation through a camera lens, wondering if I'm taking the right steps to achieve my dreams.

I pull up the plank and say, "thank you for yanking me", Back to the fact that there's something to distract
I remove the obstacle and am grateful for the push towards my goals, but there are still other distractions in my way.

Sometimes it's hard to know, If I'm doing it right, can I have it all now?
Often, I am uncertain of whether I am taking the right steps towards achieving my goals and wonder if I can have everything now.

I won't open boxes that I am told not to, Or not open door or much better record
I refuse to follow instructions simply because I am told to do something. I prioritize my own goals and record of achievements instead.

A girl in the mirror between you and me, She knows sending it, it's not getting anywhere at all
The girl in the mirror is aware that sending something (a message, for example) is not leading to any real progress or change.

Not anywhere at all, no not a thing, She can't have it all
Despite her efforts, she realizes that she cannot have everything she wants and achieve all of her dreams.

Can I have it all now?
I still wonder if I can achieve everything I want right away.
