Story Behind The Song
This song was part of my album "Last Night on Earth", which was released in 2023. I perform the song live on a regular basis, singing the lead vocals on top of vocally resonant harmonization. This is one of my most marketed songs.
Song Description
This song addresses the theme of finality in regards to human relationships. It describes an airplane flown by a Kamikaze and also by the writer of the song. The writer is simply trying to get to his destination, where as the Kamikaze is intent on death and on going to heaven. This idea is that in life one is torn between focusing on the here and now and focusing on the future and on destiny.

Lyrics
Kamikaze copilot the future can't come soon enough, kamikaze copilot while this world is getting tough, gonna fly away with you it's the past that I rue, gonna fly away it ain't the future that is true kamikaze copilot where are you taking me kamikaze copilot I just want to be free flying through the sun you're going to come undone keep the faith my friend the race is almost run kamikaze copilot breaking the speed of sound kamikaze copilot justice will be found don't be sad don't be sad this is the best time we ever had kamikaze copilot we made it through the gates of hell kamikaze copilot here the ringing of a bell well life nothing but a dark black cloud gonna scream and shout gonna scream and shout so loud kamikaze copilot I can be your friend kamikaze copilot your spirits they will mend losing altitude but gaining gratitude ain't just talking just talking talking talking about latitude kamikaze copilot they say you're on the mend kamikaze copilot I can see around the bend kamikaze copilot I can't see the end kamikaze Copa that I can't see the end
