The song in all its depth seems anything but obvious, but what is fairly obvious is that hunger is a key to the meaning of this song and the bear can be viewed as the vehicle of that hunger, but lets not be mistaken here, this song is about people, not bears.
The hunger, whatever that may be, from alcohol to sex to big macs to watching football, will end up feeding on you if you continue to feed it.
