The Final Countdown
Knightsbridge 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?
The final countdown
Ohh
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all, yea
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)
Ohh ho ohh
The final countdown, oh ho
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh
It's the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh, it's the final countdown
Yea

It has a feeling of excitement and apprehension all at once, as the joy of the journey is accompanied by a sense of loss as they are leaving their home behind. In the first verse, it's clear that they are leaving earth and don't know if they will ever return. The line "And maybe we'll come back to earth, who can tell?" suggests that there is a possibility that they might not make it back at all, which adds to the sense of risk and danger that comes with exploring uncharted territory.
The lyrics then move into a chorus that repeats the phrase "It's the final countdown" several times. This phrase has a feeling of finality to it and suggests that the journey they are about to take is an important one. The next verse describes their destination, Venus, and suggests that they are hopeful that they will be welcomed there. The line "With so many light years to go and things to be found" suggests that they believe there are still many mysteries out there waiting to be discovered.

We're leaving together
We are all departing at the same time
But still it's farewell
Although we are together, we are saying goodbye
And maybe we'll come back
There is a possibility that we will return
To earth, who can tell?
It's uncertain if we'll return to Earth
I guess there is no one to blame
There is no specific person responsible for our departure
We're leaving ground
We are taking off from the ground
Will things ever be the same again?
Is the world going to be similar when we return?
It's the final countdown
This is the last moment before our departure
