Song meaning please

Hi everybody,

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'm going to have disagree with MalRey.

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.

I am sure that the song is about the spaceship. And things have to be found out. The song is created to be played before the spacecraft takes off.
