As the music video progresses 
the teddy bear slowly falls 
apart and dishevels, it’s 
usually after each verse and 
there’s a close up on Childish 
Gambino or when it pans up to 
the sky. The teddy bear could 
be metaphor for Childish 
Gambino himself, it could be 
showing his depression and 
how as time goes on or went 
on and as he went through the 
ups and downs of life (the 
Ferris Wheel) he fell apart 
more and more. 
Or it could represent, as I said 
before, comfort, how as time 
went on he lost that comfort 
and that sense of protection.
