(Another M.I.K.E., known as Mike, is an Indonesian Singer who won the finals of Indonesian Idol. His songs are tagged on this page.)
Although mostly known for his productions under the aliases M.I.K.E., Push and Plastic Boy, Mike has released hundreds of records under more than eighty aliases and collaborations since 1992 in a wide variety of styles ranging from rave, techno, progressive house, trance, electro to even R&B, from accessible commercial anthems to minimalist underground sounds. He also produced tracks for Yves DeRuyter, Marco Bailey,Armin Van Buuren, Ian Van Dahl and Diabokua.
At the age of 18, Mike handed his first demo tape to the Antwerp record company USA Import Music and released his first record as Vision Act. In 1996 he signed with Lightning Records (the parent company of Bonzai Records) where he worked with most of its artists and achieved his major commercial breakthrough in 1998 with the trance anthem "Universal Nation" under his Push guise, one of the best selling dance vinyls of all time which even ended up in mainstream singles charts all over the world. This was followed up by two more chart hits, "Strange World" and "The Legacy".
As the list continued, creating such hits brought on major appeal by huge names like Moby, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery and so much more - which of whom M.I.K.E produced impressive collaborations and remixes for.
As time passed and M.I.K.E.'s name spread, popular demand began to expand rapidly worldwide! From the UK, to cities all around Europe & straight across the Atlantic & into North America and down Latin America, Asia and Australia - Ministry of Sound, DanceValley, Tomorrowland, Trance Energy, Winter Music Conference - were some of the prestigious venues that till this day M.I.K.E. is noticed for as a top leading performer/DJ.
And we wonder, where does he find the time to make so many hit releases? Through the wave of fans, the touring, atmosphere and passion for music are what tell the stories behind each of his exceptional tracks labeled under monikers Push, Plastic boy, to his most widely used name - M.I.K.E.
And now teaming up with labels such as Sirup Music, High Contrast Records, Garuda Music, and Armada Music, he continues introducing fresh new sounds with edge & a twist of progressive and club house for a totally modish blend. You can grab a taste on his weekly radio show 'Club Elite Sessions', also heard on various stations worldwide including SiriusXM and Digitally Imported Radio .

Things You Say
M.I.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have I done with my life
Cause I don't know
I've been wondering
What have I done with my life
Cause I don't know
What can I say about you
There's nothing I'd say about you
Cause I would say about you
Tonight
Will you continue the fight
The one up on a kite
If only I could see the light
If only I could see
What would I say about you
There's nothing I'd say about you
What I would say about you
Cause, I would say about you
The lyrics to M.I.K.E.'s "Things You Say" appear to center around self-reflection and uncertainty. The repeated lines "I've been wondering, what have I done with my life, cause I don't know," suggest a feeling of confusion or aimlessness. However, the lyrics also ask the listener to consider someone else - "What can I say about you...there's nothing I'd say about you." It's not entirely clear who this person is or why they are being referenced, but the overall tone of the song seems to be one of introspection and a desire for clarity.
The later lines in the song ("Will you continue the fight, the one up on a kite...if only I could see the light") may be a metaphor for struggling to overcome an obstacle or challenge. The singer seems to be reaching out for guidance ("If only I could see") and perhaps feeling a bit helpless or lost. The lyrics end with a repetition of the earlier lines about the unnamed person ("What would I say about you...cause I would say about you"), which could either suggest a return to thinking about someone specific or be interpreted as a broader commentary on the nature of relationships and how we define others.
Overall, the lyrics to "Things You Say" are somewhat enigmatic, but they exhibit a certain poetic quality that invites interpretation and reflection.
