The Final Countdown
Akras Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

(Three, too one)
It's the final countdown
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-da-da
The final countdown
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-da-da (oh)
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba, ba-da-da
Ba-da-da-na-na-na-na
Na, ba-da-da-da-da

We're heading for Venus
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah

With so many light years to go
And things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

(Three, too one)
It's the final countdown
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-da-da
The final countdown
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-da-da (oh)
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba, ba-da-da
Ba-da-da-na-na-na-na

Line by Line Meaning

We're leaving together
We are departing in unison


But still it's farewell
Yet, it is still goodbye


And maybe we'll come back
Possibly, we shall return


To earth, who can tell?
To our home planet, only time will reveal


I guess there is no one to blame
I suppose there is no individual at fault


We're leaving ground
We are departing from the Earth's surface


Will things ever be the same again?
Shall circumstances ever revert to their previous state?
