Welcome to Shiitake Air is a dystopian, deadpan dance track about building your own way forward when no one hands you a map. It treats survival like a handmade flight, held together with duct tape, optimism, and momentum. The pilot is improvising. The passengers know it. And somehow, everyone keeps moving anyway. This song lives in the space between humor and unease, where confidence comes from refusing to turn back and flying something broken until it works.

Lyrics

Welcome aboard Shiitake Air
Yeah this one’s homemade
Oxygen masks optional
Altitude’s just a number we’re making up

Boarded with duct tape and optimism
Seat numbers written in pencil
Built the wings out of good enough
And a stubborn refusal to cancel

Seatbelt tight plan’s still loose
If this dips don’t panic
Turbulence is just the rhythm changing
Try to stay cinematic

We don’t promise a landing
We don’t sell relief
We just point it forward
And say trust the speed

Hands up if you’re still breathing
Hands up we’re improvising
No map no rerouting
Welcome to Shiitake Air

Still here
Still clear
Still moving
Still proving

If you look out the window
That’s not nothing
That’s distance
We passed the point where going back
Stopped making sense

Same fear
Same gear
Different tier
I’m not above this I’m just up here

If it shakes
That’s normal
If it’s smooth
Check again

Hands up if you’re still breathing
Hands up we’re improvising
No refunds no explaining
Welcome to Shiitake Air

In case of emergency
Laugh or scream
Your choice

There was never a perfect runway
Just enough speed to leave the ground
You don’t need permission

Yeah
I’m making this up too

Hands up if you’re still breathing
Look around yeah they’re with you
Built it wrong kept it moving
Welcome to Shiitake Air

We’ll stay airborne
Until we decide to land
Or don’t
