'Ode to Viceroy - Mac Demarco'
Viceroy, early in the morning
Just trying to let the sun in and open up my eyes
Viceroy, as it's getting later
Heading for the corner, already running dry
And, oh, don't let me see you crying
'Cause, oh honey, I'll smoke you 'til I'm dying
Viceroy, don't take me for a fool now
I'm only trying to calm down just trying to keep it cool
Viceroy, as it's getting later
Heading for the corner, I'm leaving it to you
And, oh, don't let me see you crying
'Cause, oh honey, I'll smoke you 'til I'm dying
The lyrics within this song are about a cigarette company 'Viceroy', the meaning of the word Ode means poem, or song. Mac Demarco has an obsession with smoking and his favorite cigarette company is Viceroy and therefore chose to write a song praising the company and overall just expressing his feelings for smoking. In nearly every shot of the music video he is smoking, he expresses he wont ever stop smoking Viceroy or any cigarettes, we can clearly see this in the line 'Cause, oh honey, I'll smoke you 'til I'm dying'. The lyrics basically show what he does with the cigarettes as in the first verse he explains that he smokes them in the morning, and by the end of the night he is running 'dry' meaning hes running out of Viceroy cigarettes. in the second verse he explains why he smokes them, he explains that he does it because he's 'only trying to calm down' and 'just trying to keep it cool'.
