The Elephant Rope: As a man was passing a group of elephants, he suddenly stopped. He was confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds. But they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young we use the same size rope to tie them. And at that age, it’s enough to hold them back. However, as they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them and never try to escape."

--- "Day In, Day Out" is a song about the things that we hold on to subconsciously and follow us around day in, day out. The red cloth symbolizes the trauma that follows the dancer as she struggles to let go.
