For the 'Causing Trouble Again' video, after hearing Bob Dylan sing about a white ladder all covered with water, I became obsessed with white ladders.

I realized later that this references Jacob's Ladder and a connection from Earth to heaven, but I think I was thinking of ladders as a symbol of getting on, getting up.
