My thought: either a gate song to a heavily aviation-themed setting (Strike Witches or Fly Girls (more notes here), for a couple of examples), or a simulacrum (is that the right word when it's an inanimate object?) bush plane of Doug's choice of model, defaulting to the iconic Piper J-3 Cub. The plane persists past the end of the song if Doug is actively engaged in exploration.
Several parts of the chorus call aviation to my mind: "Into the wild" (blue yonder), "Into the vast" (skies), "Up and away". Also, the line "Firm blades and engines" instantly makes me think of propeller blades, not swords.
EDIT:
Alternatively, this song does nothing if Doug is in contact with "civilization", but stretches time like taffy as long as he and his companions are exploring the deep wilderness: no matter how much time they spend in the back woods, only the length of the song has passed to the rest of the world.
