I would like to know the meaning of the song "The Final Countdown". And also at what situation this song should be played?
Lyrics:
We're leaving together 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?
It's the final countdown 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

I can't see any particular meaning. It just seems like it was put together because the performers thought it sounded good. Here's a link to the Wikipedia article if you're interested: Final_Countdown %28song%29

I think it's actually quite obvious that the song is about a spaceship leaving the Earth and going "where no man has gone before". And also, it's about not being sure if they are ever to return from their journey.
