Ode to Viceroy Lyrics
just trying to let the sun in
and open up my eyes
heading for the corner
already running dry
'cause oh honey I'll smoke you 'til I'm dying
I'm only trying to calm down
just trying to keep it cool
heading for the corner
I'm leaving it to you
'cause oh honey I'll smoke you 'til I'm dying

he knows cigarettes are bad for him but sometimes you just need something to wake you up or calm you down. i think it's pretty relatable.

It's about Viceroy brand cigarettes. A lot of his songs mention cigarettes on the "2" album.

I like cigarettes

From what i've read he made this as an apology to his "Viceroy" after smoking another brand and disliking it.

Reminds me of John Donne in that the subject could be a metaphor for something else, like a woman or a someone/something that Mac depends on in times of difficulty, stress, mallaise.
And then the sonic world reminds me of something that might play during a scene in a motion picture where the characters are walking through the desert bouncing from oasis to oasis, not too uncomfortably but definitely not living luxuriously and with purpose in civilization. These abaresque desert-y motifs work well for urban/suburban sprawl, too--the city or the nice town as the beacon for meaning and purpose but living there ends up being a whole other level of boredom; you think you're closer to where things matter but maybe they're only advertised that way or, maybe, just nothing important has happened for a while and everyone is still waiting a long time, poised, instead of getting along in their lives. Waiting is boring. And stressful. Might want to grab a cigarette as it'll give you something to do with your hands!
And then there is the depth between the subject matter and the form of the song; when a song about something as low-level meaning-wise as cigarettes is situated within a sonic world of wandering and mallaise it makes a sort of ironic impression. What impression specifically? I leave to the people who are Very interested in the song to determine.

The guy is just saying what cigarrates are to his life.
Of course he is addicted, but still, he enjoy it so much that he doesn't even try to stop smoking.
Viceroy relaxes him, it's fun and stuff
In the other way around, he knows that the one's who love him suffer from seeing he killing himself like that.
And oh, don't let me see you crying
'Cause oh, honey, I'll smoke you 'til I'm dying''
There's also some references about the mental game agains the drug one is addicted to. It feels like he is trying to stay in control or something by saying dont take me for a fool. I know you will seduce me for another smoke time
