"My childhood was elegant homes, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building backyard forts, droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees. Middle America as it's supposed to be. But on the cherry tree there's this pitch oozing out – some black, some yellow, and millions of red ants crawling all over it. I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath. Because I grew up in a perfect world, other things were a contrast."

Man I wonder if he knew what the neighbors got up to when their spouses were out of town.

"I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath." -- Well, he ain't just talking about literal ants...

I think he was talking about literal ants.

David Lynch’s work was never symbolic. You only ever got what was right in front of you.

The moment you start seeing symbols in his work, you know you’re viewing it wrong.

Edit: Lynch’s YT channel is filled with weather reports and random numbers. How much more anti-symbolic can you get?
