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 (leaving ground)
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
We're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us (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'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
The final countdown,oh
It's the final count down

The song "The Final Countdown" by Europe is an anthem that amplifies the sense of adventure and spirit of exploration, invoking a feeling of being on the brink of something monumental. The intro, counting down from ten, creates a sense of anticipation and readiness as if there is no coming back from what is about to happen, making it evident that something major is about to occur. As the lyrics progress, it becomes apparent that the band is heading towards Venus, which carries significance in itself, as it is one of the brightest objects in the sky on a clear night and is associated with the goddess of love, suggesting that they are in pursuit of love and beauty.
The lyrics suggest that the journey they are embarking on may be a one-way trip, and there is no telling when, or if, they will ever return. They acknowledge that nothing may ever be the same again, after leaving the Earth. However, they stand tall, brave and with conviction, as they embark on their voyage, bidding farewell to Earth with the sense of longing that they will return one day. Overall, the song is an invitation for listeners to embrace adventure and take risks, relishing the thrill of the unknown.

We're leaving together,
We are departing as a group,
But still it's farewell
But it is still goodbye,
And maybe we'll come back
And possibly, we will return,
To earth, who can tell?
But we cannot predict if we will come back to Earth,
I guess there is no one to blame
I suppose there is no one at fault,
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
We are taking off from the ground,
Will things ever be the same again?
Will things ever be the same again after we leave?

Because maybe they have noticed us,
And welcome us all, yeah
And they will welcome all of us,
With so many light years to go
With many light-years left to travel,
And things to be found (to be found)
And many discoveries still to be made,

I am certain that we will all miss Earth very much,
