The lyrics of Tobacco's song "Hairy Candy" may seem nonsensical at first glance, but they carry a deeper meaning. "Eat the sun" could be interpreted as a call to experience the fullness of life, to absorb and take in everything that comes your way, even if it may be difficult to swallow. "Chew the gum" could represent the act of processing and digesting life's challenges, taking the time to understand and make sense of them rather than just swallowing them whole.
The repetition of these lines over and over again throughout the song gives the impression of a cyclical, almost mantra-like meditation on living life fully and taking everything in stride. The title itself, "Hairy Candy," further emphasizes the idea of taking in something that may seem strange and unappetizing at first, but finding sweetness and satisfaction within it.

Funny how the guy does not use recreational drugs, yet people who heavily use them think his music is great to listen to high or whatever. He's just an evil genius.
@jackhietpas2097
I'm sure this guy has consumed a few recreational drugs.
@peeterbleh
+jack h maybe one or two
@cod6guy12
Most music sounds great on drugs so it's not too hard to pull off
@rackmann6770
Why would you think he doesn't use recreational drugs? The name, 'Black Moth Super Rainbow' directly refers to a recipe for lsd

I got here trying to find a way to get dog hair out of tobacco for a joint lol
@jeremyallen5632
Step 1: throw away the tobacco and dog hair. Step 2: buy weed. Step 3: roll joint (NO FUCKING DOG HAIR OR TOBACCO) Step 4: Smoke.
@lunarowolfpun1015
you've clearly never been poor ;)

If there is tobacco in it, it's technically a splif. I don't know what it's called when you add dog hair.
