They have released three albums:
Outside The Simian Flock (2001)
Paradisiac (2005)
Sciencing (2017)
Paradisiac was produced by Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age) and fine-tuned at fellow QOTSA member Alain Johannes' studio. The album saw the band creating a harder-edged sound with obvious influences from the Queens.
Josh noticed Millionaire opening for the Masters of Reality in the SMAK (Ghent) and was so impressed he asked them to support his band on their European and American tours. Millionaire have since toured with Muse and Foo Fighters and in the U.S. with the Taste Of Chaos 2006 festival.
The band released two tracks for the Ex-Drummer soundtrack, Mongoloid (Devo cover) and Deep Fish. In this movie, they are played by the fictional band "The Feminists". Tim has recently released his own solo album. On December 5th, 2008, the band announced they are working on a new album.
I'm on a High
Millionaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't know
Couldn't tell why
Until she told me so
With a tender kiss
She made me fly
From the abyss
Now I'm on a high
I'm on a high and I can't stop rolling, my heart is open
Yeah I'm doing it solo
I'm on a high and this is my time, our time, I'm on a high
And I can't stop rolling
Dirty minds
Just entwined
There's lots o' freedom
Down below
We got plans,
We got our friends
And lots a of free time
For us to blow
And lots o' of free time
For us to blow
And lots of free time
For us to blow
The lyrics of “I'm on a High” by Millionaire tell the story of a person who has hit rock bottom and was unable to snap out of it, until they met someone who showed them love and affection. The opening lines convey the overall sense of despair that the singer feels, as they detail their all-time low, and how they “didn’t know” why they were feeling this way. It’s only after their lover shows them affection that they begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The soft and tender kiss functions as a turning point for the singer, as they begin to fly away from the abyss that was pulling them down.
As the song progresses, we get a sense that the singer has finally found the love, freedom, and companionship they have been searching for. The lyrics speak of “dirty minds” that are “entwined” and of the freedom that exists “down below”. The chorus, which proclaims the singer is “on a high and can’t stop rolling”, is clearly indicative of this newfound sense of liberation, as the singer feels like they are finally in control of their own life. They are doing “it” solo, which could possibly mean that they are single and enjoying their newfound freedom. Overall, “I’m on a High” by Millionaire is a song about hope and self-discovery, highlighting how one person’s love and affection can alter the course of an individual’s life.
Line by Line Meaning
I was on an all-time low
I was feeling really down and unhappy
Didn't know
I didn't understand why I was feeling so low
Couldn't tell why
I couldn't figure out the cause of my unhappiness
Until she told me so
Until my partner pointed it out to me
With a tender kiss
Through a gentle expression of love
She made me fly
She lifted my spirits and made me feel happy
From the abyss
From the depths of my sadness
Now I'm on a high
Now I'm feeling really good and happy
I'm on a high and I can't stop rolling, my heart is open
I'm feeling really great and excited, and my emotions are fully open
Yeah I'm doing it solo
I'm doing this on my own, without anyone else
I'm on a high and this is my time, our time, I'm on a high
This is a great moment and I'm really enjoying it with my partner
And I can't stop rolling
I'm feeling so good that I can't help but continue feeling this way
Dirty minds
We have naughty thoughts
Just entwined
We're deeply connected to each other
There's lots o' freedom
We're free to do what we want
Down below
In the intimate parts of our bodies
We got plans,
We have things we want to do
We got our friends
Our friends are important to us
And lots a of free time
We have plenty of time to spend together
For us to blow
To do whatever we want with our free time
And lots o' of free time
Repeating the idea that we have a lot of free time
For us to blow
Repeating the idea that we can do whatever we want with our free time
And lots of free time
Repeating the idea that we have a lot of free time
For us to blow
Repeating the idea that we can do whatever we want with our free time
