2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God will see you through your nights
God will shine all His protection on you
You are blessed in the name of Jesus
Got migraines all around the Tri-state
All as I gave, used to come my place
Don't got a fireplace, but I got a fire escape
Not a lightweight, lookin' at me sideways
Bad mind state, East where I find pain
It's M-I-K-E since 9-8
It left ma's face grief in a small cave
Match my J, Peachtree where I lay
If cacti brings feast through the dry phase
Try and find great sleep from the primate
Psilocybe lead to letting time fade
This is my face, speedin' and arrived late
I gave 'em my way, G's try to violate
What else could I say? Sing like Rod Wave
Like 'Pac, Dre the G, I'm trynna cosplay
I don't chop, lay, eat where the opps dead
They got drop Swae Lee when the bop play
That's all I got to make breeze on a hot day
He said, "I got to let it be," when I got played
In the first paragraph, the lyrics express a sense of faith and encouragement. The singer acknowledges that it's okay and God will be present with the listener during difficult times. God's protection and blessings are mentioned, giving hope and reassurance to the listener.
The second paragraph delves into the personal experiences and struggles of the singer. The mention of migraines in the Tri-state area suggests a pervasive feeling of discomfort or pain. It seems that the singer used to have visitors coming to their place, but now they no longer have that connection. The reference to not having a fireplace but having a fire escape could be interpreted metaphorically, indicating that the singer may not have an ideal or luxurious lifestyle, but they have found alternative means to cope and survive. The mention of dilated eyes suggests the use of substances, and the image of the "za' blazed" suggests smoking marijuana. The line "Not a lightweight, lookin' at me sideways" could imply that the singer can handle or tolerate the effects, and they encounter judgment or skepticism from others.
The third paragraph explores the singer's identity and journey. The mention of M-I-K-E since 9-8 suggests that the singer has been using this name since 1998, indicating a long-standing presence and commitment. The line "It left ma's face grief in a small cave" is open to interpretation, but it may suggest that the singer's existence or choices have caused pain or sadness to their mother in some way. The reference to Peachtree, which could be associated with Atlanta, indicates a geographical location where the singer resides or spends time. The mention of cacti bringing feast during the dry phase may symbolize finding sustenance or pleasure in challenging times. The reference to primate sleep, psilocybe (a type of psychedelic mushroom), and letting time fade suggests the use of hallucinogens or mind-altering substances to escape or cope with reality.
In the fourth and final paragraph, the lyrics touch on the singer's attitude and reactions towards certain situations. The line "This is my face, speedin' and arrived late" implies that the singer is not in control of time or events and often feels rushed or behind schedule. The mention of giving their own way and dealing with potential violations may suggest a tendency to assert themselves and defend their boundaries. The comparison to Rod Wave, Tupac, and Dr. Dre indicates the singer's desire to evoke the emotions and impact of these influential figures in their own artistic expression. The mention of the "opps dead" suggests a sense of triumph or satisfaction when those who oppose or threaten the singer are defeated. The line "He said, 'I got to let it be,' when I got played" could imply that the singer had to accept or surrender to a situation when they were deceived or manipulated.
Overall, these lyrics delve into themes of faith, struggle, coping mechanisms, personal identity, and reactions to challenging circumstances. The singer expresses a mix of emotions, ranging from hope and inspiration to frustration and defiance. The interpretation of these lyrics may vary depending on the individual's perspective and personal experiences.
