Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
The final countdown.
Oh, We're heading for Venus
And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all
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 (final countdown).
Oh oh
The final countdown.
Oh oh
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
The final countdown. (final countdown)
It's the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
Oh, it's the final countdown.
The song The Final Countdown by the Swedish band Europe was released in 1986 and became a massive hit around the world. The lyrics of the song speak of a mission to space that is reaching its final moments, as the spacecraft counts down to the end of its journey. The first two lines of the song indicate that the crew is leaving their home planet and heading out into the unknown depths of space. They do not know if they will ever return to Earth or not.
The chorus, "It's the final countdown," is repeated throughout the song and serves as a reminder of the finite nature of the crew's journey. The lyrics question whether things will "ever be the same again" and express a kind of nostalgic sadness for what is being left behind. Yet the crew stands tall as they head toward their destination, Venus. They are optimistic that they will be welcomed by alien life when they arrive. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus again and again, driving home the idea of the finality of the journey.

We're leaving together
We are all leaving together
But still it's farewell
However, this is still goodbye
And maybe we'll come back,
It's possible that we could return
To earth, who can tell?
But it's uncertain if we will come back to Earth
I guess there is no one to blame
No one is responsible for our departure
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
We are taking off and leaving the planet behind
Will things ever be the same again?
We wonder if things will ever return to the way they were
It's the final countdown.
This is the last time before we leave
Oh, We're heading for Venus
Our destination is the planet Venus
And still we stand tall
We remain confident despite the impending journey
Cause maybe they've seen us
Perhaps the inhabitants of the planet Venus have observed us
And welcome us all
And they will receive us all with open arms
With so many light years to go
The distance we need to travel is immense
And things to be found (to be found)
There are many things that we hope to discover along the way
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
We know that we will miss the Earth
It's the final countdown.
This is our last countdown before departure
It's the final countdown. (final countdown)
This is really it, the final countdown
Oh oh
Sound of anticipation for what's to come
It's the final countdown.
This is the end, the final countdown
The final countdown.
This is the last countdown before we take off
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
This is our last countdown before departure
We're leaving together
We are all leaving together
The final countdown
This is the last countdown before we leave
We'll all miss her so
We know that we will miss Earth
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
This is the last countdown before we depart
Oh, it's the final countdown.
This is the last countdown before we leave

In spanish be like...
¡Hora de tu cuenta atrás, hasta aquí llegaron tus fechorías!
Procede a golpear al villano, pero este se convierte en una bestia gigante
¡Magna Gattai, Great Cross!
Llama a los mechas y se transforma un Megazord
¡Listo, Great King!
Pelean entre si
Ataque final, Mera Mera Daizantō un ataque de fuego que destroza al villano en pedacitos
Noor Azfaruddin
Legendary songs never die. It's still rockin into next centuries to come.

It’d be a hell of a project, but Through the Fire and the Flames or Operation Ground and Pound would both be insane
Epic Orchestra
I’m gonna do through the fire and the flames. I think I have an idea of how to do it, but maybe without the insanely fast solos, just do slower musical passages 😊👍
Stranger
@Epic Orchestra awesome

My cat died. His soul brought me here. I dedicate my YouTube channel and original music to him, but nobody would see it. To small changes. One day we all die and take nothing with us...
