Final Song
Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please, won't you wait? Won't you stay?
At least until the sun goes down
When you're gone, I lose faith
I lose everything I have found
Heart strings, violins
That's what I hear when you're by my side
Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by my side
But when you're gone the music goes
I lose my rhythm, lose my soul
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

Baby when we were young
There was nothing to make believe
And the songs that we sang
They were written for you and me
Melodies on repeat
That's what I hear when you're by my side
Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by my side

But when you're gone the music goes
I lose my rhythm, lose my soul
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

Woo, take us to a higher ground
Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down
Woo, underneath the disco light, it's alright
We could make the perfect sound
We could make the perfect sound

But when you're gone the music goes
I lose my rhythm, lose my soul
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song
So hear me out before you say the night is over
I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on
So don't let this be our final song

Woo, take us to a higher ground
Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down
Woo, underneath the disco light, it's alright
We could make the perfect sound
Woo, take us to a higher ground
Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down




Woo, underneath the disco light, it's alright
Don't let this be our final song

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to MØ's song "Final Song" depict a plea to a lover to stay with the singer until the end of the day. The singer describes how the mere presence of their lover is what makes their life meaningful, equating their partner's company to the sound of heartstrings and violins. However, the tone shifts dramatically when the lover leaves, and the singer becomes lost and soulless without them. The chorus then becomes a call to action for the lover to remain with them, begging them not to make this the "final song" of their relationship.


The theme of the song is the depth of love, and the fear of losing that feeling. The lyrics express that the singer's emotions, their rhythm, their soul, and everything meaningful in their life, is lost when their lover departs. Lovers' shared melodies take them to a higher plane, and they fear that departing ways signifies that this final song is the end of their relationship forever. However, the song ends with a message of hope and a call to continue the journey together, reminding the listener not to look down but to take them both to higher ground.
