This movie left me thinking WTF!!!! I heard there are many interperitations to this movie, but I still couldn’t figure it out. Are a lot of David Lynch’s movies like this?

Not just parenthood though, that crying baby is a representation of really anything. It can stand in for a job you can’t stand for instance. Honestly it’s a life changing movie. Lynch is brilliant. |

Yeah, I interpreted it as being about young parents with an unwanted baby. Always felt bad for that weird larva baby...
A lot of Lynch's other movies are pretty dreamlike with plots you kinda have to unwrap, but I don't think any of them are quite as cerebral as Eraserhead.

I always liked it but never fully understood it. I just thought it was a bizzare film.

The fear of parenthood is the most common interpretation. You could extend that to a fear of growing up/responsibility.
After Eraserhead his films up to and including Wild at Heart are relatively straightforward narratively though still quite dark and twisted thematically.
His later films (with the exception of the aptly titled The Straight Story) start playing with narrative again, but only his last film INLAND EMPIRE approaches the level of Eraserhead and even that is at least set in the recognizable "world".
