Mickey's music is a collision of new and old, digital and analogue instruments, bent and pushed to their limits. Mickey is constantly leading his fans down a seemingly endless road filled with bold stylistic choices and wild sounds – and we're happily along for the ride.

Bursting onto Aussie radios with the now house classic 'Feel My Pain'. In the years to follow he's dropped radio banger after banger with 'Move To Fast', 'Save You're Breath' 'All That Acid' and 'Video Games'. As well as collaborating on singles with Bag Raiders, Go Freek and with USA EDM act K?D's single Electronic Memories which has been streamed more than 15 million times. A fan highlight from Mickey's catalogue is his 2019 Triple J Like A Version of Art vs Science’s ‘Parlez-vous Francais’.

Coloured with warped guitars, mind-melting synths and gritty undertones, Mickey's 2022 debut album ULTRA, sends you into a vivid-trance as Mickey unpacks a whirlpool of themes from imposter syndrome and isolation to the twisted sides of materialism. Mickey talks through what inspired Ultra;

“The majority of the album was written in the months after our first lockdown in 2020. I had just finished playing the best shows of my life and was inspired to write a whole bunch of energetic, live-focused electronic music so that when things went back to “normal”, the band and I would be ready to shred across the country once more.”

Mickey is currently touring nationally in support of his album kicking it off with a packed Splendour In The Grass, Mix Up tent set before dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Albury, Gold Coast and Townsville, including secret bush doof Shedfest, bringing his signature synth sorcery from Ultra to a stage near you.

Get Out
Mickey Kojak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We said it was the last time
Now you're in my room again
A punishment to fit the crime
I try so hard not to pretend

But I know deep down it always hurts the same
Yeah you try, keep it down, but it hurts to call your name
So get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore

Get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore
Get out, don't call, i don't need you anymore
Get out, don't call, i don't need you anymore

You called me last summer
To tear the pages of our history
You said you found another
So what you doing lying next to me
Cause I know, deep down, it always hurts the same
Yeah you try, keep it down, but it hurts to call your name
So get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore
Get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore
So get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore
Get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore
So get out
Get out

So get out, don't call I don't need you anymore
Get out, don't call I don't need you anymore
So get out, don't call I don't need you anymore

Get out, don't call I don't need you anymore
So get out

Line by Line Meaning

We said it was the last time
We agreed to end things but you're back in my life again

Now you're in my room again
You've come back to try and win me over once more

A punishment to fit the crime
I see your reappearance as a punishment for my past mistakes

I try so hard not to pretend
I'm trying to be honest about my feelings and not pretend I want you back

But I know deep down it always hurts the same
No matter how hard I try, your presence always brings me pain

Yeah you try, keep it down, but it hurts to call your name
You may try to hide your true intentions, but the mere mention of your name still stirs up painful memories

So get out, don't call, I don't need you anymore
I've had enough of your drama and don't want you in my life anymore

You called me last summer
You reached out to me again after a long time

To tear the pages of our history
You wanted to destroy any remnants of our past relationship

You said you found another
You claimed to have moved on and found someone new

So what you doing lying next to me
But now you're here with me, betraying your words

So get out
I've had enough of your games

Get out
Leave me alone and move on with your life

So get out, don't call I don't need you anymore
I'm done with this toxic relationship and don't want any more contact with you
