Ode To Viceroy Lyrics

Viceroy
Early in the mornin'
Just tryna let the sun in
And open up my eyes
Viceroy
As it's gettin' later
Headin' for the corner
Already runnin' dry

And oh, don't let me see you cryin'
'Cause oh, honey, I'll smoke you 'til I'm dyin'

Viceroy
Don't take me for a fool now
I'm only tryna calm down
Just tryna keep it cool
Viceroy
As it's gettin' later
Headin' for the corner
I'm leavin' it to you

And oh, don't let me see you cryin'
'Cause oh, honey, I'll smoke you 'til I'm dyin'

There really is nothing quite like him

What is the Meaning of Ode To Viceroy?

Mac DeMarco's mellow anthem delves into his love-hate relationship with Viceroy cigarettes. The lyrics paint a picture of a laid-back morning ritual, hinting at how these smokes are a source of early-day comfort. But as the day drags on, there's a darker side, as he admits to needing them just to get by. There’s a mix of dependency and affection in his words, almost like he's talking to an old friend. The chorus shows a deep bond, where he promises to stay loyal 'til the end, despite the toll it takes. It's a raw and candid look at addiction, disguised in a sweet serenade. #CigaretteAddiction #IndieRockVibes
