The Final Countdown
J. Tempest Lyrics
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
Will things ever be the same again?
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
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
The opening lines of J. Tempest's song "The Final Countdown" depict a group leaving, potentially for an intergalactic voyage. The first two lines imply that they are saying goodbye, perhaps to Earth or to those they're leaving behind, but with the possibility of returning one day. As the song continues, the lyrics touch on themes of uncertainty, as the group leaves behind what they know and embark on a journey with an unknown outcome. The lyrics "there is no one to blame" suggest that this is a decision made by choice rather than necessity.

We're leaving together,
We're departing as a group,
But still it's farewell
Though we say goodbye, there's a chance we may meet again,
And maybe we'll come back,
It's possible we'll return,
To earth, who can tell?
But we don't know when that will be,
I guess there is no one to blame
Nobody is at fault for us leaving,
We're leaving ground
We're taking off,
Will things ever be the same again?
We wonder if things will ever be as they were before we left,
It's the final countdown,
This is the last leg of our journey,
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
We're going to Venus and we're ready to face whatever comes our way,
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
Perhaps Venusians know we're coming and are happy to see us,
With so many light years to go and things to be found
There's a lot of exploration ahead of us,
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
We'll have fond memories of Earth.
