* [[LyricalDissonance The music video]] for "Bonfire": The video ''starts'' with Bino waking up on the ground at night, with a broken noose around his neck. In the distance, he can see a camp counselor telling a campfire story to a group of campers[[note]]It's worth mentioning at, although you don't hear the story, the counselor ''does'' do the motion for a hanging at one point.[[/note]]... and a guy with a knife approaching them that they do not see. The entirety of the video is of Bino rushing over to the group to let them know what's going on... but when he actually does by the end, they don't react to his presence, or even know he's there. And then the guy with the knife shows up... and it's another camp counselor, [[WhamShot dressed up in the exact same way Bino is, complete with a fake knife.]] [[DeadAllAlong The campfire story was about Bino's own death,]] [[TomatoInTheMirror and the video ends with him realizing this]] [[HereWeGoAgain before once again waking up by the tree.]]

** There's also the video's possible {{Aesop}}, which is that people are so busy paying attention to the media and celebrities that they're ignoring America's current racial injustice, symbolized by Bino and the other dancers distracting the viewers from him killing several people and the chaos going on in the song's background. And most likely, when you first watched this video, [[YouBastard you also]] paid more attention to the dancing and music than the background references.

* "death by numbers" sounds extremely desolate already, but becomes even eerier once you read the screenplay and find that the song corresponds with [[spoiler:the Boy attempting suicide via overdose]].
* "III. life: the biggest troll", the {{bittersweet|Ending}} finale of the album. The line between "artist" and "art" (or rather, Gambino and the Boy) is blurred to its maximum by Gambino, who comments on how disillusioned he's become with himself, failing to know who he is anymore. He finds that he's been fucked over and played by all aspects of life, from the music industry to relationships to his own self-image. How the song ends is especially sad; we hear Bino crying out "Please help me" over and over as the pitch of his voice escalates higher and higher and his pleas eventually dissolve into the background of the music.
-->"Life's the biggest troll, but the joke is on us."

* "All the Shine," which has Bino describing his love/hate relationship with fame, to both Childish Gambino and to Donald Glover.
-->''My mom loved to text me Psalm verses''\\
''She don’t look at me like I’m the same person''
** As if that wasn't enough, the song's outro is absolutely beautiful, with the song's instrumentals stripped down to the violins.
* The aforementioned song segues into "Letter Home," which reuses the violin to have Bino sing over it, addressing an ex that he still has feelings for, to possibly amp up the tearjerker factor.
-->''You're all I ever wanted...''
* "Heartbeat," in which Bino depicts the feeling of not being able to be with or have "the one", and the many emotions that can strike when you’re with girls you don’t love and still messing around with the ones you do.
* The spoken-word section at the end of "That Power," a speech that Bino recites that puts himself into the shoes of his teenage self, who fell in love with a girl at camp (who he is talking to in the speech). The entirety of the speech can make one emotional from nostalgic pangs, but the real wham is in the ending, when Bino says the following:
-->''I wish I could say this was a story about how I got on the bus a boy and got off a man more cynical, hardened, and mature and shit. But that’s not true. The truth is I got on the bus a boy. And I never got off the bus. I still haven’t.''
* "Fuck it All." Damn.
* "Flight of the Navigator" will make you want to rip your heart out. As if the context from the album wasn't bad enough ([[spoiler:when The Boy wakes up in a hospital after dreaming of drowning and seeing the afterlife afterward]]), the song was inspired by a death that was personal to Gambino in real life. The somber lyrics and tender beat don't help.
