Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ten, nine)
(Eight, seven, six, five)
(Four, three, two, one)

We're leavin' 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 (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown
The final countdown

Oh
We're headin' for Venus (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 (to be found)
I'm sure that we all miss her so

It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)
Oh

The final countdown, oh

It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)

It's the final countdown
We're leavin' together
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
(Oh)




It's the final countdown
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The Final Countdown" by Europe carry a sense of farewell and a journey into the unknown. The countdown in the beginning of the song sets the stage for departure, symbolizing a moment of transformation and starting anew. The song speaks of leaving together, but also acknowledges the possibility of not returning to Earth. The line, "And maybe we'll come back to Earth, who can tell?" hints at the uncertainty and adventure that lies ahead.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea that leaving ground and embarking on this journey may change things forever. There is no one to blame for this departure, as it is something that must be done. It reflects a feeling of inevitability and a desire for things to be different upon return.


The song then shifts its focus to Venus, as the destination of this voyage. The lyrics suggest that by heading towards Venus, the band (and by extension, humanity) stands tall and confident. The line, "Because maybe they've seen us and welcome us all" implies a hope for acceptance and discovery in the vastness of the universe.


The repetition of "It's the final countdown" throughout the song signifies the magnitude and significance of this journey. It serves as a powerful mantra, reinforcing the idea that this departure is the culmination of an era and the beginning of a new chapter.
