I've always thought Europe's songs always leaned towards the sci-fi spectrum. This song underscores that point as well, even more so than the final verse of "Carrie."
I think the song could be about a earth couple on their way out to explore and find other species. The line "Maybe they've seen us and welcome us all" underscores the point that maybe another species already knows of us and are waiting for humans to take the next jump. "The Final Countdown" being the amount of time before they leave the solar system.
I don't know. Maybe I've just had too much beer every time I listen to this group...but it always sounds like their songs have a sci-fi feeling to them.

Anybody agree?
