The Cure's music video for "Lullaby" is an art music video that uses surreal imagery to tell a narrative without fancy editing. It depicts the story of a child who is scared of a monster called the "Spiderman" coming to get him. Robert Smith portrays the child and is shown in a dark bedroom, looking fearfully around the room. Other band members appear as a toy marching band that has come to life. Their costumes continue the theme of seeing the world through a child's imagination. The video blends a staged performance with its artistic narrative to link the visuals and lyrics in a unique way.
