Answer

Rope is like string but much thicker. You can pull things with rope and you can climb things with rope. The sentences you are hearing are metaphors. Holding on the rope is a metaphor for holding onto to something like hope, or keeping someone (holding onto them). Lost the rope is a metaphor for you lost something.
