Meaning
This reads as a defense of an unlikely source of inspiration, and of the way dark music can also be beautiful. It can be taken to mean that atmosphere matters more than polish, especially when a brief melody keeps returning in your head. In a studio setting, it lands as a reminder that something eerie can still become useful, even elegant, in another form.
