(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 .

M.I.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night that softly bleed
Just come and stay
I'm sure you'll like it anyway
There's always something better
Something bigger than our souls
Am I the only prisoner of my world?
It's stronger than your body
Am I the only prisoner of my world?
You should come and go
You should come and go
Like no one cares
Starting now
Just starting now
Now
My hands are tied
My head's still on my chest
We'll leave one more time
To celebrate, celebrate your life
I know that simple feeling
You've been running on a blade
But know it's late, you need to rest
And not to be afraid
There will be no solutions
No redemptions for ourselves
We'll take some random spaceships
And we'll sang
You should come and go
You should come and go
Like no one else
Starting now
Just starting now
Whenever you may find me
Wherever you may fall
Remember that your troubles are still mine
We need a bright tomorrow
We need a certain call
I'm asking you to gaze at your own sky
You're falling as I sing your lullaby
Your lullaby
Your lullaby
Your lullaby
Your lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Your lullaby
The lyrics to M.I.K.E.'s song "Lullaby for Two" are poetic and thought-provoking. The song starts with an invitation to the listener to witness the night, but it soon turns into a reflection of the artist's own struggles with their world. The line "Am I the only prisoner of my world?" suggests that there is a sense of being trapped or confined, perhaps to their own thoughts and emotions. The contrast between the strength of the body and the weakness of the soul further emphasizes the struggle within.
The chorus of the song implores the listener to come and go as they please, to live freely without the burden of others' opinions. This message is reinforced with the lines "starting now," urging the listener to start living on their terms right away. The idea of celebrating life is also a recurring theme, as the artist believes in embracing the moment and cherishing it.
Towards the end of the song, the focus shifts from the artist's personal struggles to a more universal message. The line "remember that your troubles are still mine" is a touching reminder that we are all in this together, and we need to support each other. The song ends on a note of hope, with the artist asking the listener to look up at their own sky, to find their own path and hold onto their dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
Come and see
Join me and witness
The night that softly bleed
Observe the night sky that is slowly losing its light
Just come and stay
Stay with me while we experience this moment
I'm sure you'll like it anyway
I believe you'll find this moment enjoyable regardless
There's always something better
There's always something greater than ourselves
Something bigger than our souls
Something that transcends our individual spirits
Am I the only prisoner of my world?
Am I the sole victim of my own reality?
It's stronger than your body
This mental and emotional captivity is more powerful than physical limitations
But it's weaker than your soul
Nevertheless, the soul has the potential to overcome such limitations
You should come and go
You should experience life's moments freely
Like no one cares
Without concern for judgment or consequences
Starting now
Beginning at this moment
My hands are tied
I feel unable to act
My head's still on my chest
I am still holding onto hope and purpose
We'll leave one more time
We'll depart once again
To celebrate, celebrate your life
To honor and appreciate the essence of your being
I know that simple feeling
I understand that fundamental sensation
You've been running on a blade
You've been living on the edge of uncertainty
But know it's late, you need to rest
But now it's time to take a break and recuperate
And not to be afraid
And to let go of fear
There will be no solutions
There may not be any answers or fixes
No redemptions for ourselves
No way to redeem ourselves from past mistakes or regrets
We'll take some random spaceships
We will continue on our unpredictable journey
And we'll sang
And we'll sing
Whenever you may find me
Whenever you come across me
Wherever you may fall
Wherever you may stumble or falter
Remember that your troubles are still mine
Recall that I share in your hardships and difficulties
We need a bright tomorrow
We require an optimistic future
We need a certain call
We need a specific motivation
I'm asking you to gaze at your own sky
I'm encouraging you to look introspectively
You're falling as I sing your lullaby
You are drifting off to sleep as I comfort you with my words
Your lullaby
Your soothing lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Your lullaby
Your personal lullaby
