Millionaire

Plastilina Mosh's song 'Millionaire' presents a unique blend of lyrics that seem to juxtapose the mundanity of everyday life with the exhilarating feeling of love and the illusion of wealth. The song starts with a sense of apathy towards daily routines and news, indicating a detachment from the world's happenings. The protagonist feels disconnected until the moment they lock eyes with someone special, which brings a sense of reality and excitement into their life. This encounter appears to be transformative, making everything else seem dull in comparison.

The chorus of 'Millionaire' introduces a metaphorical wealth, suggesting that the feeling of love or being with this person equates to the power and wealth of a millionaire. The repeated line 'I got power like Tony Blair' references the former British Prime Minister, known for his influence, to emphasize the sense of empowerment love brings. However, there's a playful irony in the lyrics, as the protagonist declares themselves a 'loser' in love, willing to surrender to the other person's game. This self-proclaimed 'millionaire' status is not about actual financial wealth but about the richness of emotions and the power dynamics in their romantic relationship.

The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus contrast with the vulnerability expressed in the verses. Plastilina Mosh, known for their eclectic mix of genres and satirical lyrics, often play with themes of love, society, and personal identity in their music. 'Millionaire' captures the essence of feeling invincible when in love, yet also acknowledges the complexities and potential losses in the game of love. The repeated 'caching' sound mimics the ringing of a cash register, further playing into the theme of wealth and the transactional nature of seeking love and happiness.
