Launching their debut album in 2012 on Copenhagen Records, Lukas Graham quickly became a popular live act in Denmark. That success translated to the rest of Europe and caught the attention of Warner Bros. Records who co-signed them in 2013. The band’s music was first introduced worldwide with the release of their two singles "Mama Said" and "7 Years", the latter of which topped various international charts. Their second album was released internationally on April 1.
Off To See the World
Lukas Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But can't find peace while sitting still
I guess we never will
We're on the way
We won't hurry back again
The journey in the end
(Oh oh) I love this very moment
We might know we can't win
But we're dumb enough to try
We're going, there's no maybe
That's why they call us crazy
And we'll say if anybody asks us
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know
We never need to know
Seeking boundaries to break
Let's forget the ones we've made
So we carry on
Don't let good things pass us by
The time we're gone will be the
Best time of our life
I love this very moment
We're speeding up not slowing
We might know we can't win
But we're dumb enough to try
We're going, there's no maybe
That's why they call us crazy
And we'll say if anybody asks us
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know
So go tell 'em we won't stop
We know they can't change us
We're gonna go way off the map
To get ourselves back on the track
Go tell 'em we won't stop
We know they can't change us
No need to worry so much
We do whatever we want, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know, oh
Hey, where you gonna go
We're off to see the world
We don't need to know
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Line by Line Meaning
So, we wanna stay
We have a desire to remain in our current surroundings
But can't find peace while sitting still
However, we are unable to find inner tranquility by staying in one place
I guess we never will
We assume that we will never achieve this goal
We're on the way
Therefore, we are embarking on a journey
We won't hurry back again
We do not plan to return quickly
The journey in the end
Ultimately, the experience of traveling is what matters
(Oh oh) I love this very moment
I am enjoying the present moment
We're speeding up not slowing
We are increasing our pace, not decreasing it
We might know we can't win
We are aware that we may not succeed
But we're dumb enough to try
Nevertheless, we are foolish enough to attempt it anyway
We're going, there's no maybe
We are definitely proceeding forward
That's why they call us crazy
This is why some people consider us to be insane
And we'll say if anybody asks us
If someone inquires, we will tell them
Hey, where you gonna go
Where are you planning on going?
We're off to see the world
Our plan is to travel and experience the world
We don't need to know, oh
We do not require advance knowledge of our destination
We never need to know
Actually, we do not ever need to know
Seeking boundaries to break
We are searching for limits to surpass
Let's forget the ones we've made
So, we should disregard the ones we have created ourselves
So we carry on
And thus, we continue onward
Don't let good things pass us by
Do not miss out on opportunities for positive experiences
The time we're gone will be the
The duration of our absence will be
Best time of our life
The most enjoyable period of our lives
So go tell 'em we won't stop
Inform others that we are persistent
We know they can't change us
We understand that they are unable to alter our minds
We're gonna go way off the map
Our plan is to travel to unknown locations
To get ourselves back on the track
In order to return to our intended path
No need to worry so much
There is no requirement to be overly concerned
We do whatever we want, oh
We do as we desire
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
