Owl City - Kamikaze Lyrics






The princess in her flower bed
Pulled the jungle underground
Where cherry bombs stain the blackbird's red
And explosions never make a sound

Oh, comet come down
Kamikaze over me
And I come alive
My midnight melody
Oh, comet come down

My captain on the snowy horse
Is coming back to take me home
(Is coming back to take me home)
He'll find me fighting back the terrible force
'Cause I'm not afraid to die alone

Oh, comet come down
Kamikaze over me
And I come alive
My midnight melody
Oh, comet come down
Kamikaze over me
And I come alive
My midnight melody
Oh, comet come down

Oh, comet come
(Oh, comet come down)
(down)

(Break down the open road)
Maybe I'll ride
(And fight back the undertow)
To save my life
(Bring in the ember glow)
Maybe I'll fly
(And go where you wanna go)
With an eagle eye

(Break down the open road)
Maybe I'll ride
(And fight back the undertow)
To save my life
(Bring in, bring in the ember glow)
Maybe I'll fly
(And go where you wanna go)
With an eagle eye
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)
(Eagle eye)

Owl City Kamikaze Comments
  1. A.... H....

    Here in 2020 haha all the memories of owl city and sleeping in class

  2. H.... M....

    DECEMBER 2019?

    H.... M....

    i came for the memes

  3. W.... S....

    2019 northeast India shillong

  4. A.... M....

    I don't like this one

  5. A.... F....

    Anyone else here off a comment on a Steven universe amalgam video

  6. �.... ....

    This song is kinda familiar to this one:
    https://youtu.be/RjHqvn7umVs

  7. W.... N....

    i can listen to it till death

  8. T.... i....

    Most recent 😁

  9. G.... O....

    I wonder why there isn't a 10-hour-long version of this with just the part "Eagle Eye" xD

  10. o.... ....

    Adam sounds like Tom delonge in this song

  11. M.... S....

    The shouting bits and the general tone of the song give me Twenty One Pilots vibes.

  12. J.... O....

    I looked up on Musicnotes & it said that this song was written in the key of Ab Major. But how can this be in the key of A-flat? I don't hear any D-flats in this track & the A-flat doesn't seem to be tonic. There's a D-natural & not a D-flat.

  13. G.... O....

    I'm still impressed that there isn't a 10-hour version of he saying "Eagle Eye" 😲

  14. J.... ....

    This is the first video I liked

  15. M.... S....

    I forgot how beautiful this song is. All the feels Kamikaze all over me right now!

  16. P.... ....

    Adam . Your music heals the emotions. Thank you. Thanking God for you.

  17. m.... M....

    Wow I love this song but really, tons of allied soldiers were killed by kamikaze attacks. So that kind of takes away from this song (to me I'm just really good with WW2 history)

  18. O.... S....

    This just randomly popped up on my recommendations and man! MY NOSTALGIA IS BACK AND IM ON AN OWL CITY LISTENING SPREE!!

    O.... S....

    :) good 4 u :)

  19. T.... A....

    The two witnesses 🖤 the end times 🖤 this whole album is a story of it (in my mind)... idk what to believe in rn. But I always go back to this album and it always makes me want to believe in the book of revelations from the bible.

  20. l.... c....

    January 2k19 still watching thiss! hit the like button

  21. C.... V....

    A powerful song that reverberates for me on a variety of different levels. This will always be in my top 3, for sure!

  22. Q.... F....

    My new favorite Owl City song!

  23. L.... D....

    The princess in her flower bed
    Pulled the jungle underground
    - sin and death entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve
    - we all inherited this sinful nature

    Where cherrybombs stain the blackbirds red
    - animal sacrifice as a temporary cover up for man's sin (in the OT), but the fact that we sinned against God still remains and the wages of sin still in effect
    - or man's attempt to get close to God through good works etc.

    and explosions never make a sound
    - the "cherry bombs" are not enough
    - sin will remain undefeated without a "perfect sacrifice"

    Oh, comet come down
    Kamikaze over me
    And I come alive
    My midnight melody
    Oh, comet come down
    - Jesus saves his people from death

    My captain on the snowy horse
    Is coming back to take me home
    (Is coming back to take me home)
    - Jesus as described in Revelations, riding on a white horse, redeeming his people

    He'll find me fighting back the terrible force
    - Jesus enables his people to fight sin and evil

    'Cause I'm not afraid to die alone
    - the followers of Jesus rest in what He did on the cross. Death has no dominion anymore.

    (Break down the open road)
    Maybe I'll ride
    (And fight back the undertow)
    To save my life
    - Romans 12:2 - not conforming to the pattern of the world
    - mortifying sin in one's life

    (Bring in the ember glow)
    - John 3:19-21
    - bring light to this darkness-loving world

    Maybe I'll fly
    (And go where you wanna go)
    With an eagle eye
    - "you" may pertain to Jesus
    - Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles... (taken from Isaiah)

  24. A.... R....

    Sometimes you need a change of pace. This song, however, still captures the mysterious tones of this album.

  25. p.... p....

    anyone else a screaming hedgehog in the tree?

  26. S.... P....

    Ahh, still loving this song in 2018 <3

  27. K.... R....

    2018 anyone?

  28. y.... ....

    This is still such an interesting and super well produced song. He has his very common chords he uses in the majority of the rest of his songs, but the way he uses the chord progression with percussion is so incredibly unique. He used such a refreshing beginning sample and combined it with drum n bass plus another really interesting "vinyl" sounding scrape sample and other synths. He does this for a lot of his songs, but this melody really sticks and it's one of the best that I've heard him do so well and unique with.

  29. L.... T....

    ded peeopel

  30. A.... L....

    Awesome techno

    A.... L....

    Also how does nearly everything he tries sound good

  31. S.... ....

    Em is showing strong signs of having another album VERY close around the corner. check my last video for the latest on what may be much more than just 1 diss song, but an album.

  32. f.... w....

    best one....i love you zriin

  33. F.... G....

    This use to be my text tone in high school lmao

  34. D.... K....

  36. �.... ....

    良い.

  37. Z.... B....

    Kamikaze, the divine wind.

  38. A.... ....

    So glad I found this song

  39. s.... r....

    Banzai !!!!!!!!

  40. R.... ....

    Wow... Took me many years to realize.......
    Adam Young's songs are made to be listened not just once...
    That's why I got addicted to it...
    Dang it Adam!!!!!!!!!

  41. X.... T....

    This is probably the one song of Adams I don't listen to on the regular.... I don't love it, but at the same time I don't HATE it.

  42. m.... ....

    I love Breanne Düren's voice singing "eagle eye" at the end of this song.

    m.... ....

    musicmansuperman

    I don’t hear Breanne at all. It’s just Adam’s voice being pitched.

  43. J.... A....

    💕💕💕💕💕💕

  44. C.... C....

    The start had so much potential...

  45. L.... G....

    Kamikaze over my

  46. �.... �....

    I thought he says calm down oh how can I calm down when Adam shouts?
    אדם אני שרופה עליך

  47. S.... ....

    *BREATHE IN THE AMBER GLOW!!!*

  48. S.... ....

    I feel like this is a kind of vent song.
    I love it so much.

  49. c.... b....

    the guy in the back of the song sounds like mini ladd

    c.... b....

    craig barlow the guy in the back is Adam.

  50. S.... ....

    #StillListeningOwlCity2K17

    S.... ....

    SwiftBeat 2k18!!

  51. M.... D....

    This song brings back so many memories. It's amazing

  52. R.... A....

    2017,
    rappers have taken over,
    send help

  53. M.... w....

    he would always want me to play this song for him

  54. M.... w....

    my guy i was with he loved this song and now his not here anymore with me

  55. A.... C....

    Honey and the bee
    Kamikaze
    How I became the sea
    All from owl city.

    I see a pattern, but I'm not sure...

    A.... C....

    All of them have "e" in the title.

  56. C.... J....

    This song is so beautiful, I love that his songs are always about god as our leader coming to take us home, and that we shouldn't be afraid. I also love his creativity, not pop crap like disney channel flow or whatever jake paul is doing. I love you owl city!❤️❤️

  57. M.... ....

    Oh yeah. Nostalgia.

  58. S.... ....

    So I've gone through every Owl City (I think), and arranged them from my favorite to least favorite, divided into 7 tiers: Bad, Meh, Okay, Good, Great, Awesome, and PERFECTION. This song was ranked 95, in the Okay tier.
    This song is very unique and fun, with a beat that just forces you to tap your foot, but it isn't quite as aesthetically pleasing as I would like, so it's made it simply to the okay tier.

  59. M.... A....

    2:14 this is literally when my inner ear reaches orgasm

  60. J.... H....

    Kamikaze over me.... originally sung 1942 pearl harbor

    J.... H....

    Perl Harbor was 7 december 1941 and back then there were no kamikaze yet they were created in 1944 :) just to make it clear

  61. l.... ....

    This awesome sounds reminds me of the movie "Your Name". lol. There should be an AMV of the movie with this song.

  62. M.... D....

    This is definitely my favourite! \(^0^)/

  63. P.... E....

    Los gritos de Adam cagaron la cancion.

  64. C.... ....

    Does anyone else realize that his "Captain on his snowy horse" is referencing Jesus? And when he says "is coming back to take me home" he means Heaven.

    Also, 777 comments. <3

    C.... ....

    CaptainClipy i was thinking of this too, last night! and maybe the terrible force was his sickness or anything troubling.

    C.... ....

    no, he was referring to ghangis khan, who will save all his mongol horde in the end of days, fool

    C.... ....

    Yes I understood that exactly.

    C.... ....

    And immediately.

    C.... ....

    I can't believe I never realized this was Christian

  65. H.... P....

    This song is amazing it's still like owl city

  66. C.... G....

    Awesome sauce

  67. C.... G....

    Awesome sauce

  68. G.... B....

    "Where cherry bombs stain the blackbirds red and explosions never make a sound". A bit unsettling for Adam but I still love the song.

  69. m.... ....

    (A road where you wanna go)
    not
    (I know where you wanna go)

    That's how I hear it anyway

  70. H.... H....

    This song is awesome

  71. G.... B....

    Any action game that I play, I listen to this song and its soooo fun lol

  72. �.... �....

    Those sweet melodies that owl city has in the middle is the best.

  73. S.... ....

    I love Owl City so much. Gosh, this is so nostalgic.

  74. E.... D....

    this song..............trip the evenings on the road .........brilliant........

  75. S.... M....

    this song is 1 of maybe a dozen that make me wake up during the day and yet helps me sleep at night. freaking love it

  76. C.... W....

    What does "cherryboms stain the blackbirds red" mean?

    C.... W....

    The cherrybombs is Jesus's blood, and the blackbirds are sin in this instance. Jesus's blood washes the sin away.

  77. S.... ....

    2:48 ecoli ecoli ecoli

    S.... ....

    It's actually "Eagle eye".

  78. C.... L....

    Search the definition.. .-.

    C.... L....

    Kamikaze means "god wind".

  79. J.... S....

    Oh comet come, comet come down!!!!!!!!!! (best part) ( - ;

  80. J.... S....

    AWESOME!!! I didnt know Adam Young could be so hipster! a billion likes if I could.

  81. �.... o....

    Kamikaze reminds me kazekage. You can see where I got it from XD

    �.... o....

    Naruto?

  82. K.... K....

    <3 ALL HAIL OWL CITY <3

  83. M.... E....

    Ok, I'm listening to this at midnight lying on a flower bedspread. What the heck?

    M.... E....

    Idk why but this comment totally cracked me up

    M.... E....

    lay off the bong bro

  84. T.... W....

    why am i so happy

    T.... W....

    because owl city

    T.... W....

    @Carolyn Joyce Yes you knew the answer wow I was wondering

  85. H.... L....

    I use to not like this song, but now I love it. But hey, what Owl City song can you dare to NOT love?

    H.... L....

    Hannah Lovell
    The more you listen to his songs, the better they get in my opinion haha
    So if you don’t like one of his songs, keep listening!

    H.... L....

    I love Owl City...just look at my profile picture<3<3

    H.... L....

    @ArtsySundae okay :)

  86. b.... ....

    I'm not sure I like the screaming but I like alligator sky in the background

  87. J.... E....

    The xylophone (or whatever instrument it is) at the beginning, to me, sounds like it would fit in Finding Nemo/Dory. Same with the line about the undertow. Another reason to love Adam's music, IMO!

    J.... E....

    My bad. I was just guessing. Any idea what it really is?

    J.... E....

    Actually, Finding Nemo is Adam's favorite soundtrack, so I can see why.

    J.... E....

    Jasonic Raiden if it's not a marimba then it's probably just a synthesizer

  88. A.... R....

    WHY CANT I VIEW THIS ON MY PHONE

    A.... R....

    Arjun Ramakrishna because you have an iPhone

  89. S.... C....

    it's sooo good

    S.... C....

    Wut? o.O

    S.... C....

    fight me

    S.... C....

    But I'm not a violent person :(

    S.... C....

    +Simon Carstens I want what you guys are smokin lol

    S.... C....

    haha no kidding man ;)

  90. S.... B....

    The beginning of this song kind of reminds me of Sonia the hedgehog,does anyone else feel that way?

  91. S.... H....

    Anyone listening in 2016?

    S.... H....

    Bro I'm listening in 2021!

    S.... H....

    IM LISTENING IN 2022

    R.... T....
