The song is about remembering youth, assuming it was away now, and how sweet and simple those days were. Throwing the teddy bear is a symbol that the childhood is over now and you have to go on. The symbol in the big balloons was the Pink Floyd "logo" of the álbum. The massive sculpture represents Syd Barret and how they held that weight for many years. The big balloons go by several places where the band members grow.
I recommend their "Live 8" performance from 2005. It's four songs, but it's ten years after the Pulse tour and Roger Waters is on stage with them. All you need to search is "Pink Floyd Live 8" and if it's about 24-25ish minutes long, you have the right one. This is the last performance they did as a full band with Richard Wright, who died three years later in 2008.
Everyone is recommending the live Pulse version so you don't get caught up in the video! You HAVE to watch David on this cut live! And definitely react to the album this came from, "The Division Bell".
Do a Nita Strauss reaction! The child is throwing the bear out the window because he’s throwing his childhood dreams and high hopes away out the window, his high hopes. The oversize bear represents his oversized dreams as a child and they’ve been thrown out. The child is now a grown adult. And the childs dreams are gone, only a memory. Check out The High Hopes live pulse concert version, it’s sooo goood 😊!
Sort of like, "the child is grown, the dream is gone." That might make a good lyric. These sort of lyrics fell on deaf ears when we first heard them, not so much any more.
Pink Floyd hated making music videos of other than their live performances as they felt it redirected viewers attention away from the music as well as they wanted the listener to develop their own "visions".
And the video means nothing they're just images. I wouldn't spend much time trying to connect it to the song. I would just enjoy the music. Ya feel me?
you have some musical interpretiveness, tho the imagery is both lyrically and musically profound in pf songs meaning. in other words your sense of understanding and richness, of symbols and references, is imbecilic. in fact, most pink floyd performances are intimately tied to their visuals. suggest you try to stair step in understanding, by connecting focus [and commentary], on that area that is presented and masterfully rendered.

Thanks for the great analysis. I love this song and it just answered few of the questions I had thought whenever I watched the video
This live from the Pulse concert is incredible David just goes off on that end solo!
I seen the Divisions bell tour in Rotterdam 94 , this live was one of the highlights 🎉
Pompeii is even better IMO!
I so LOVE Pink Floyd!!!
The big statue head is Syd Barrett, an original band member that was let go due to psychosis
You have to love it when David plays his slide guitar. I love his Stratocaster work, but his Fender Deluxe lap steel guitar is just unparalleled.
I’m loving every single episode of your Pink Floyd experience
This songs is from Division bell album
Pink Floyd logo is what that symbol is
The outro guitar solo by David Gilmour is played on a lap steel guitar, not normal bottle neck style slide guitar 🎸
Next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) = 3 guitar solo 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶
This whole album (The Division Bell) is great 💗✌🏽🤘🏼🖖🏽

Nice short and sweet explanation.

Pink Floyd is not for dancing
