There are two questions which everyone is sort of mixing up. these are:

1. What does the song Suspended in Gaffa mean?
2. What is Gaffa?

I think that Chris's long post quoting articles points out that Kate feels
that question 1 is the most important aspect, while question two is
basically irellivent. Gaffa is a word implying something which holds you
back. Whether it is physical, and used as a metaphor, or spiritual, and is
literal, it doesn't matter. What matters is the meaning of the SONG. That
is what Kate was trying to get through in her interviews. After trying to
explain what the song means, and having people say, yes, but what does
GAFFA mean? She finally say " TAPE! IT's TAPE, YOU MORON!!!" out of
frustration. When she should say, hey, it's not what GAFFA means, but what
the song as a whole means. Gaffa could be anything.

The song is what's important.
