Lukas first ventured onto the music scene with two Canadian bands, Cleavage (1995-2005) and Rise Electric (2005-2006), which helped prepare him for what was to come. He entered and won the competition television show Rock Star: Supernova (2006) which earned him front man status with Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Jason Newsted (Metallica), and Gilby Clark (Guns N' Roses). Their band Rock Star Supernova completed an album and a world tour of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Following the tour, Lukas returned to Los Angeles and began writing and recording new music. The Love and Lust EP (June 2007) was released and he completed the solo acoustic Love and Lust Tour, making over two dozen stops throughout the United States and Canada. The new material was well-received by fans, and the band Stars Down was born (2008-present). After touring with his new band, Lukas began playing local gigs at such southern California hot spots as The Roxy, The Key Club, The Mint, and Viper Room.
The year 2010 kicked off with a mini East Coast tour and Lukas working on his first full length album. Hollywood was released (July 2010) and debuted live at West Hollywood’s famous Viper Room. The all acoustic Hollywood Stripped followed (August 2010). After moving to Nashville, in addition to local and out-of-town gigs, he wrote, recorded, produced, and released six additional recordings. The first three were Seed EP (December 2010), Story Teller (January 2011), and Super, Sex, Magic (February 2011). He also co-wrote, provided vocals, and recorded several music videos for a side-project, Switchblade Glory (April 2011). Lukas released Prophecy (November 2011) and Christmas Collection (December 2011) to complete a very busy year. But he wasn’t finished, releasing the album 8 Days (April 2012) soon after.
Lukas has appeared on many media outlets, including performing live at the 2006 Gemini awards, the CBS television series Rock Star: Supernova (18 million viewers worldwide), Ellen, Regis & Kelly, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Entertainment Tonight, The Howard Stern Show, and ET Canada.
In addition to his vocal talent, Lukas plays multiple instruments, is a songwriter, producer, actor, and vocal instructor. He currently resides with his wife Kendra in Nashville, Tennessee.

Same Mistakes
Lukas Rossi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken glass and a one-winged butterfly.
Cause when it rains, it pours.
Story of my life and nothing more.
After all the roads we take.
We make the same mistakes.
All over again.
The smile upon your face.
In the silence I wait.
Your footsteps in the sand.
Disappeared when I carried you in my hands.
Close my eyes to see.
The light that's there in front of me..
In front of me.
In front of me..
After all the roads we take.
We make the same mistakes.
All over again.
Yes, it's time to mend the break.
The smile upon your face.
In the silence I wait.
Everybody knows the rain will come down in the end.
Everybody feels the same pain.
Everybody knows the rain will come down in the end.
Everybody feels the same pain.
Same pain.
After all the roads we take we make the same mistakes.
All over again.
Yes, it's time to mend the break.
The smile upon your face.
In the silence I'll wait.
Everybody knows the rain will come down in the end.
Everybody feels the same pain.
Everybody knows the rain will come down in the end.
Everybody feels the same pain.
Everybody feels the same pain.
The lyrics to Lukas Rossi's song Same Mistakes speak to the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of pain and mistakes. The imagery of a broken clock and a one-winged butterfly suggest that time is ticking away and that life can feel incomplete and, at times, impossible. The line "cause when it rains, it pours" reinforces this idea, suggesting that when things start to go wrong, they can quickly spiral out of control.
The chorus presents a message of hope for overcoming repeated mistakes and pain, calling for the listener to "mend the break" and find happiness again. The line "The smile upon your face, in the silence I wait" hints at the possibility of healing and the need for patience in the process. The repetition of the lines "Everybody knows the rain will come down in the end, everybody feels the same pain" serves to remind the listener that no one is immune to suffering and that it is a natural part of the human experience.
Overall, Same Mistakes is a poignant and reflective song that speaks to the emotions and struggles that many people experience in life. It encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and to stay hopeful, even in the face of adversity.
