Out of context, the following quote has a very defined
meaning:
Believe me, everything looks like a noose if you
stare at it long enough.
What
this quote means is that certain points in a person's life things begin to develop a
certain meaning, possess a certain image for the
interpreter.
For a person threatened by the noose, they
would come to see the noose as representative of the unimportance of their life.
Everything that they regarded they would do so with the thought that a bad decision
could bring an end to their life.
The noose represents the
"thing" which hangs over everyone. Every person has their own personal noose: money,
pain, solitude, and so on. People who look at life in this way see the visual
representation of their nemesis in every decision that they make in
life.
As for the noose, it represents the fact that no
matter where one turns, the noose represents the fact that another person holds their
life in their hands.
