The song has been written in past, present and future tenses to look back on his life, tell us what is happening to him now and express what he wants in the future.
There are many expressions, for exemple:

Push to the limit: to make someone use their full capacity.

Make a steady figure: to make a reliable income.

Make it major: to be very successful.

Everything I saw before me: something I saw happening in front of me.

Leave behind: to abandon someone.

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old

Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old

Once I was seven years old, momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old

Our election for this project is a very quite song. Usually, we don’t listen to this style of music but this song in particular is so beautiful and takes out our most sentimental part.

The music is a bit sad but the lyrics are so melancholic and leads us to think about the future and how we want it to be. It’s a very introspective track.

Contrary to apperances, Lukas Graham isn’t only a singer, is actually the name of the vocalist and leading member of the music group with the same name. The reason of the band’s name is because Lukas is the writer and compositor and he said it’s natural that as a leader he gives the name of the group. The other members are Mark Falgren (drummer) and Magnus Larsson (bassist).

This band was formed in 2011 in Denmark and it’s musical genre is between pop and funk. Their musical inspirations are so diversified and include different types of music like rock, folk or rap. Some of them are The Rolling Stones, Dr Dre and The Prodigy.
They have launched two albums: Lukas Graham in 2012 and Lukas Graham (Blue Album) in 2015 but they became famous with this song which is part of the second album and were nominated to three Grammy Awards.
