This video is so "left-brained" (debunked myth) that it misses the point of Lynch's work. He makes contemporary art where there's some meaning to things, but it's mostly there to provoke thought, apply your own interpretations, and tell commentary about a whole slew of other things.

Sometimes it could be a minor reference to something he likes, or an expression of emotion at a given time. But to draw the lines from every detail to fully explain something is not how he should be seen. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from enjoying his works that way, but I feel it misses so much by being logical.

Maggie Mae Fish's videos on Twin Peaks seems much more accurate for how Twin Peaks can be explained. By pointing out some abstract themes and references, it both explains and leaves the mystique in tact.
