Unless you're doing "modern art" in which case you just literally throw
paint (or other substances) at a canvas then give it a pretentious
title, and the modern art snobs will convince themselves that they see
in the painting what the title indicates they should see.

Reminds me of the INXS, Suicide Blond story;
Apparently the guy they hired to do the video showed up and said he
loved the song and how he thought the song was a metaphor for the
deforestation of the Amazon basin or somesuch, when in fact it's just
about a girl who dyed her hair, as the band immediately told him.

He read meaning into it that it never had.
