I'd explain the whole thing but I'm sure it'd be tl;dr. ;)
Suffice to say I thoroughly enjoyed making this.

Nope. ;) No dice. No explaining from this dog. XD
Here's part of why I won't explain it...someone writes a song. It means something to them. It has symbolism in their mind. Someone ELSE hears the song, and they find their own symbolism and meaning. If I were to push the symbolism and meaning I see and feel with this image onto others, it might stunt or distract from or entirely erase the meaning and symbolism they might seek and find within it.
Which...ironically, is part of one aspect of the whole picture. XD

Aah but this could also be equated to an author doing their own vocal reading of an audiobook. When the author reads it themselves, they can give the inflections, pronunciations, and motivations that were intended in the creation of the work, such as to fill in the tiny inuendos and other elements that can so easily be missed by the uninitiated.
Indeed one does draw their own impressions of imagery such as this, and that is a good thing. But at the same time, it is interesting to draw impressions out and compare them with the creator's intention. At least for me, as I am nothing if not open-minded and curious.
