Not a Damn Thing Changed
Lukas Graham Lyrics

Not a damn thing changed
Despite fame and success, nothing has fundamentally changed in the artist's life.

All the boys that grew up back-to-back still do the same things
The artist's childhood friends still live the same lifestyle they did in their youth.

Now they're rewarding our records
The artist's music is now being recognized and rewarded.

But we still do the same things
Despite fame and recognition, the artist and their friends still engage in the same activities.

I'm just spittin' words out my mouth
The artist is creating music effortlessly and candidly.

I made it, I still don't know how
The artist acknowledges their success but is unsure how they achieved it.

Damn it, my stage show can light up the clouds
The artist's live performances are vibrant and engaging.

Now I'm gonna blow it until I go out
The artist plans to continue giving their all until the end of their career.

Not a damn thing changed
Despite the pain of losing loved ones, life still carries on.

Just the funerals that follow death some more pain
The constant cycle of funerals is a reminder of life's fragility and sorrow.

We're drinking beers and we're lighting up joints in the cold rain
Despite the difficult times, the artist and their friends find solace in each other's company.

I'm glad I got somewhere to go
The artist is grateful to have a supportive community in their life.

I know a few souls without hope
The artist is aware of people close to them who may struggle without support.

Brother, you know you can call if you're broke
The artist offers to be there for their friends in hard times.

Damn it, I pray you won't reach for that rope
The artist hopes their friends won't resort to drastic measures in times of hardship.

So pour out a shot for me
The artist asks for remembrance in the form of poured liquor.

Keep pouring out the bottle for the real ones I lost
The artist mourns the loss of close friends.

Who can no longer walk with me
The artist misses the friends who have passed away.

For the ones still right here, yeah, for the ones who still care
The artist appreciates the presence and support of the friends who are still alive.

Yeah, we still feel the same way
The artist and their friends remain connected through shared experiences.

Just pushing in the same lane
The artist and their friends continue to pursue their goals together.

Tryna sit still, keep looking at the main aim
The artist is focused on staying grounded and working towards their goals.

Always doing me so I have to maintain
The artist prioritizes being true to themselves.

Got my team from day one, there's not one I could replace
The artist's friends are their core support system.

Staying true to the way I grew up, how we were raised
The artist remains grounded in their upbringing.

My boys, they go in and go out
The artist's friends come and go but remain an important part of their life.

So far away but I still make them proud
Despite distance, the artist still maintains meaningful relationships with their friends.

Damn it, I hope we all make it somehow
The artist wishes success and happiness for their friends and themselves.

I'm just tryna put feelings as words on this damn page
The artist is using music as a form of emotional expression.

Some of my friends started leaving this life 'cause they couldn't wait
The artist has lost friends due to impatience and risky behavior.

They know how it feels without hope
The artist's departed friends had experienced feelings of hopelessness.

Stick to my people, that's people I know
The artist prioritizes loyalty and support within their close circle.

They feel the same, we all follow that code
The artist and their friends share similar values and outlooks on life.

Won't forget where I'm from but for me there's just one way
The artist remains connected to their roots but is committed to pursuing their path forward.

It's a habit of beating the goals that we once made
The artist is always striving for success and self-improvement.

I got a few records to break
The artist is still motivated to break new records.

I know we all got what it takes
The artist believes that they and their friends have the potential for success.

The team is the team, same as back in the day
The artist's friends remain an integral part of their team.

If I wanted to turn back, it's already too late
The artist acknowledges they cannot go back to their old life.

Yeah, we just grew up too quick 'cause we
The artist and their friends had to mature quickly due to life's circumstances.

'Cause we couldn't wait
The impatience of the artist and their friends led to hasty decision-making.

Not a damn thing changed, just sticking to the game plan
Despite all the challenges and changes, the artist remains dedicated to their goals and approach to life.
