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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you sleep? Where you learn to hang?
I gotta give a lil' speech, lil' word of thanks
To lil' me in this world of angst
What I did to feel free from mercy hands
Yeah, a lil' scheme, lil' certy scam
How we up a lil' V, to a dirty van
Some cut, still grieve, I deserve to dance
To feel the breeze, feel the earth expand
Huh, feel debris where my burden stand
Some love still leeching in deserted land
A young one had to leave and return with bands, uh
I told V, I had the perfect plan
A come up, a dumb dream and my assertive glance
Love ease what the burning can't
Somebody take the wheel, for real
The problem is you still win and gotta feel the guilt
My patna' know the deal, I'm Shaquille
Got hard to keep a few friends, I gotta break the shield
My body felt the chills, surreal
My mommy left a blueprint, I promise to rebuild
Up-top I never kneel, or squeal
It get harder to reveal shit I always kept concealed
Lotta trauma keep me ill, so I keep it billed
The spliff harsher than reviews is, a martyr to the guild
In the Gaza doing drills, like ahki on the grill
I'm getting farther from the meal-ticket, sharpening the steel
Please pardon while I heal from the thrills
Left the party prolly still spinning, walking on my heels
Pray my matta never spill over krills
It get darker when you deal with it, gotta pick a pill
Somebody take the wheel, for real
Everything I feel tinted, hindering the will
I can't escape it still, evade the ills
Somebody take the wheel, forreal
Everything I feel tinted, hindering the will
I can't escape it still, evade the ills

Some love is still draining in an abandoned place
A young one had to leave and return with bands, uh
A young person had to depart and come back with success and recognition
I told V, I had the perfect plan
I told my friend V that I had an impeccable plan
A come up, a dumb dream and my assertive glance
A rise to success, an unrealistic dream, and my confident gaze

My friend knows the situation, I'm unstoppable like Shaquille O'Neal
Got hard to keep a few friends, I gotta break the shield
It became difficult to maintain friendships, I have to break down the barriers
My body felt the chills, surreal
My body experienced a sense of fear and excitement, it felt unreal
My mommy left a blueprint, I promise to rebuild
My mother gave me guidance, I vow to reconstruct and improve
Up-top I never kneel, or squeal
At the top, I never submit or betray my principles
It get harder to reveal shit I always kept concealed
It becomes increasingly difficult to disclose the things I always hid
Lotta trauma keep me ill, so I keep it billed
A lot of past pain keeps me unwell, so I keep it hidden
The spliff harsher than reviews is, a martyr to the guild
The joint is more punishing than critics' reviews, symbolizing sacrifice for the community
In the Gaza doing drills, like ahki on the grill
In a tense situation, preparing and training diligently, like a brother on the barbecue grill
I'm getting farther from the meal-ticket, sharpening the steel
I'm moving away from relying on easy income, honing my skills and determination
Please pardon while I heal from the thrills
Please excuse me as I recover from the excitement and emotions
Left the party prolly still spinning, walking on my heels
Left the gathering, probably still feeling disoriented, walking unsteadily
Pray my matta never spill over krills
Hope that my troubles never affect those who are innocent
It get darker when you deal with it, gotta pick a pill
It becomes gloomier when you face your problems, you have to make a choice
Somebody take the wheel, for real
Someone else needs to take control, seriously
Everything I feel tinted, hindering the will
All my emotions are colored, obstructing my determination
I can't escape it still, evade the ills
I still can't avoid it, trying to avoid the troubles
Somebody take the wheel, forreal
Someone else needs to take control, seriously
Everything I feel tinted, hindering the will
All my emotions are colored, obstructing my determination
I can't escape it still, evade the ills
I still can't avoid it, trying to avoid the troubles
