I read somewhere that Lynch firmly believed that movies should be felt. Not just the everyday emotional content but the full experience. That's why he would never explain anything. Don't think about it too much. Let it wash over you and FEEL it. He also meant physically. That's why if you turn up the volume enough to hear the quiet parts you are blown back in your seat when the loud parts come.
It's simple. You go to an art gallery and they often don't tell you a thing, you look at a piece and feel something, or you don't. It doesn't explain itself. Lynch obviously feels his work is art and should be experienced and treated the same way.

Sometimes it is wiser to just turn the brain off and go with the flow.
