The Final Countdown
The Eight Group 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 (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
The final countdown
Ohh!
We're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us, all yeah
With so many lightyears 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). Ohhh oh oh ohhhh
The final countdown.
Ohhhhhhhhhh
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(Final countdown)
Ohhh. It's the final countdown
We're leaving togetherrrr.
(The final countdown)
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (Final countdown)
Ohhh. It's. the. final. countdown
The lyrics of The Final Countdown by The Eight Group describe the emotions and thoughts of a group of people who are leaving Earth for another planet. As they bid farewell to this planet, they are unsure if they will ever return or if things will ever be the same again. They are headed for Venus and are hopeful that they will be welcomed and accepted. The line "With so many lightyears to go, and things to be found, I'm sure that we'll all miss her so" depicts their nostalgia and love for the Earth they are leaving behind.
The chorus, "It's the final countdown", repeated multiple times, is a reflection on the momentous nature of this journey. It signifies the excitement, anticipation, and nervousness that they feel as they embark on a new adventure.
The lyrics can also be interpreted as a metaphor for life. Just like the characters in the song leaving their home planet, we are all on a journey through life, and at some point, we will have to say goodbye to people and places we love. However, we must embrace each new adventure with hope and determination, even when the future is uncertain.
