Background
The song was first uploaded on August 14, 2011, and is Neru's seventh work uploaded. The video reached 1,000,000 at 11:07 AM on June 20, 2012 and has since been covered by various utaites. This was also featured in an EXIT TUNES compilation Vocalocluster, V Love 25～Aperios～, and VOCALOID 超BEST -impacts-.
To celebrate Kagamine Append's first anniversary, Tokyo Teddy Bear's single was released by KARENT.
The song is rather vague, and so several interpretations can be made. A possible meaning for the song is that the main protagonist, played by Rin, runs away from home and her family, thinking that she has a 'crazy filled mind'. She appears to hate her life and wants to change. In the song, she struggles with why she needs to change, seen in the lyrics; "Make a fool of yourself." Either these are her parents words to her, or these are Rin's own thoughts. She appears to fear that changing can only make her a mere fool.
In other lyrics, Rin asks why she can't just be loved—possibly by her family—and expresses wishes to cut her face off with scissors. This appears to indicate she has a history of, or is contemplating, harming herself, whether by literally cutting herself or by inflicting mental pain.
The teddy bear could also represent the singer. The stuffed toy is nearly torn apart and is a mess of stitches and patches, much like Rin imagines herself to be on the inside. The teddy bear's physical state symbolizes Rin's internal suffering. Seeing herself, like the bear, as being destined to be constantly torn apart and patched up again, Rin expresses a desire to be "patched" up and be fixed. At some parts, she hints of pulling the last string that keeps the teddy bear together, possibly symbolizing her death. The ending of the song—whether Rin returns home, finds help, runs away, commits suicide, etc.—is left to the viewer's imagination.

Written by an unknown artist, this version of the lyrics was used in the English version of Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- F 2nd.
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry for everything
My knees are shaking and I'm sucking my thumb
Brother, Sister, I'll see you later
I stomp down the heels of my unfashionable shoes
I'll make a ridiculously-sized pattern for it
Anything will do, as long as it serves as a replacement
The words "I want to be loved" tumbled from my mouth
I'll find some tougher scissors
To cut out the face
C'mon, let me hear some words of wisdom
Tell me I don't need anything but my brain;
Near-future creation; tomorrow's wounds; just shake it
Please fill in the gaps in my seams
Goodbye, everyone; teacher, take care
Drool drips onto my pounding chest
What does honesty get you? Honesty doesn't pay!
What does honesty get you? Honesty doesn't pay!
Ahh, this isn't going to get the job done
I need a bigger sewing machine to pierce through the heart
C'mon, let me hear some words of wisdom
Tell me I don't need anything but my brain;
Near-future creation; tomorrow's wounds; just shake it
Please fill in the gaps in my seams
There's nothing left, nothing left anymore: It's all torn off
Even my cells disappear into this sea of lint
That's right, I'm gone, gone, thrown away
I don't even have a home to go back to
Proof of my existence. Ahh, shut up. My body's made of lies
I want to complete it, I want to cheat, give me the answer
I can't change? Do I want to be kept like a pet?
Is it all gone? This isn't me!
The seams have split and torn apart
I cut out my life's spark in these boiling days
Anyone will do, as long as they serve as a replacement
