Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please, won't you wait? Won't you stay?
At least until the sun goes down
When you're gone, I lose faith
I lose everything I have found
Heart strings, violins
That's what I hear when you're by my side
Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by my side

But when you're gone the music goes
I lose my rhythm, lose my soul
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

Baby when we were young
There was nothing to make believe
And the songs that we sang
They were written for you and me
Melodies on repeat
That's what I hear when you're by my side
Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by my side

But when you're gone the music goes
I lose my rhythm, lose my soul
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

Woo, take us to a higher ground
Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down
Woo, underneath the disco light, it's alright
We could make the perfect sound
We could make the perfect sound

But when you're gone the music goes
I lose my rhythm, lose my soul
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

Woo, take us to a higher ground
Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down
Woo, underneath the disco light, it's alright
We could make the perfect sound
Woo, take us to a higher ground
Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down

Don't let this be our final song

Overall Meaning

MØ's "Final Song" is a song about the fear of losing someone special and hoping to make the moment last. The song opens with the plea for the person to stay, at least till the sun goes down, because when they're gone, the singer feels like she loses faith and everything she has found. She describes the feeling of being with this person as heart strings and violins. The music represents the emotions the singer has when she's with this person, and when they're gone, so is the music as she loses her rhythm and soul. The chorus emphasizes the urgency of not letting this be the final song by repeatedly saying "hear me out before you say the night is over" and "don't let this be our final song."


The second verse reminisces about the past with the person and how simple things used to be, with songs that were written specifically for them. When they're together, they make a perfect sound, but without them, there's no music. The bridge calls for the person to take them to a higher ground and to not look down as they dance underneath the disco light. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, reiterating the importance of not letting this be the final song.


Overall, "Final Song" is an upbeat and catchy song that touches on the fear of loss and the desire to keep a special moment going. It highlights the importance of living in the present and not taking moments for granted.
