Lyrics and composition edit
"Kamippoi na" is a fast-paced electropop song, with the vocal range spanning from the low-note of mid2A (A3) to the high-note of hiD# (D#5), and the highest falsetto note hihiD# (D#6) appears before the last refrain. [1]
The song satirizes the modern popular trend.[3] The word "God-ish" repeatedly appears in the song lyrics. PinocchioP explained that although someone appears to understand everything, eventually is just "god-ish", not "god".[2]
The lyrics quote Friedrich Nietzsche's statement "Gott ist tot". PinocchioP expressed his liking for "active nihilism" in the interview, and thought the words aligns with the song title and his mode of thinking.[2]
