Cover art for Delicate Tendrils lyrics by Les Claypool and the Holy Mackeral

it kind of reminds me of when you have money or lots of posessions because you are working hard to pay for them... and people start using you to get to your stash etc, even subtle things like parents hitting you up for money, and you see them as animals now not just people and you must kill them to defend your merchandise.
