I've always thought it's about memory. In the music video, a moustachioed Condon sings in a room papered with old photographs and memorabilia, and he and his dancers pirouette with a host of ever-changing young women. Towards the end, when he is wading along the coast, he has lost his moustache - become a younger man, you could say - and the decoration of the room slowly fills in the image of the coast behind him. I see this as developing memories, memories that surround you and entrap you.
Not to mention the fact that elephants are rumoured to have terrific memories, amirite?
