I tried to draw inspiration from song lyrics, just random quotes such as "build a friend like you" or "we are the last disease." But my mind continuously went back to the idea of forced biological relationships (specifically mother/daughter relationships).
So I began to think of the negative effect that unhealthy mother/daughter relationships can have. For instance, displaying a child as a trophy to others as if their accomplishments is somehow reflected on her. Or, another example, when the mother begins to dress up her child like a doll. And certain actions similar to these can put a wedge between their relationship. Instead of showing affection, she focuses purely on how everyone else will view her child and herself: a show for everyone else. And what is the typical line that mother's use on their children? "I am your mother, I gave birth to you."
And this line always bothered me. As if mothers are entitled to their children because they gave birth. Relationships are created based on experience and actions, not by bloodlines. That particular line is so daunting because it's as if their children are indebted to their parents for choosing to have intercourse, to have a child. And that line just becomes suffocating.

I really enjoy how the background isn't static. Especially when it looks as if a texture is overlayed over another image and is panned across the screen slowly.
