The band now sell out venues normally reserved for major label, radio 1 play-listed album artists. The March 2018 sold out tour saw 3,300 screaming fans across just 7 shows - the largest being the 950 capacity Manchester Academy 2. An incredible feat for any unsigned act.

KING NO-ONE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've watched it all unfold
I'm tired, i didn't ask for an encore
You just don't know
It's what you say
And what you want
Day by day
And we fall in
'to the same millennium
... And i either make you
Feel the love or make your skin crawl
... And we fall into the
Same routines been here for so long
Millennium.
I've seen it all, from pleasant smiles, laughs to desperate cries
It's what you say
An what you want
Day by day
Holding onto our love
And we fall in
'To the same millennium
And I either make you
Feel the love or make your skin crawl
And we fall into the
Same routines been here for so long
Millennium
Losing the soul, and I've watched it all unfold.
My words, have lost life, but my mind is so alive
Millennium
... And i either make you
Feel the love or make your skin crawl
... And we fall into the
Same routines been here for so long
Millennium.
In "Millennium," KING NO-ONE's lead singer reflects on a stagnant relationship that's lost its magic over time. He sings about the exhaustion and monotony of having the same routines and conflicts repeatedly. The lyrics "losing the soul" and "my words, have lost life" suggest that the spark that once powered their love has faded away. Despite feeling as though they're going through the motions, the singer acknowledges that he still has a profound connection with his partner.
The chorus emphasizes the repetition and frustration of the relationship, as the couple falls into the same patterns and conflicts over and over again. The line "And I either make you feel the love or make your skin crawl" suggests that while they may still have romantic moments, they're equally likely to hurt each other. The repeated refrain of "Millennium" suggests that this relationship has been going on for an impossibly long time, with no signs of change on the horizon.
In all, "Millennium" is a poignant reflection on the ups and downs of a long-term relationship. The song suggests that despite the moments of magic and closeness, the weight of routine and the inevitability of conflict can wear on even the strongest partnerships.
