Pretty much, yeah. The details or a specific set in stone meaning aren't really what Lynch movies are about. They're mostly about conveying themes and about how they make you feel in the moment. Beneath all the cryptic imagery and general Lynchisms lie some pretty universal and simple emotional beats, usually. One is best served interpreting his work on an emotional-sensory level rather than trying to pinpoint what each scene means exactly. At least that's been my experience. Glad you liked it. Blue Velvet and Lost Highway explore very similar themes.
