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.

Odd Ways
Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They being dragged, the frequency is mad lit
I'll take a drive just act cool
One tear, shit I wouldn't call it 'cry'
I'm just tryna get my mind straight, feel a little fine
One beer be turning into five
Looking up to see my mom's face drippin' through the sky
She be quick to see my eyes blazed when chilling with the guys
Much fear when it's niggas in the ride
This shit different from the Tri-state
Been spitting up the lye 'til my lungs clear
I should've saw the vibes
We been living without God's grace, grimace in the time
Yeah, here go my feelings in these lines
Another victim of these odd ways
Position me on top when I was really sittin' sideways
This all I got, this what it is, or hit the highway
I know my job, this shit was written 'fore the hype came
I even felt alive, one mistake could make your life change
You know them lies you should to tell me what it's like, gang
You in the ride or you dippin' when the price raised
You lit then your life drain
You know the vibes you only gettin' with the right name
Deeper than the plot, we puttin' secrets on the white page
Deepest in my heart, I can't be fiending for a white face
A strong soul but my mind crazy
Strong soul but my mind crazy
Strong soul but my mind crazy
Alright, let's see
In Mike's song "Odd Ways," the lyrics depict a sense of detachment and introspection. The lines "They go ahead, they just past shit" express the idea of others moving past mundane things while the singer feels dragged down by the intensity of their own thoughts. The phrase "the frequency is mad lit" suggests that the singer is overwhelmed by their emotions or experiences.
The following lines convey a desire for escapism and a struggle to find peace of mind. The singer mentions driving and trying to appear calm, but their tears and the reference to alcohol indicate that they are grappling with internal turmoil. The mention of their mother's face "dripping through the sky" could symbolize a sense of loss or longing.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of self-awareness and societal influences. The reference to being "lit" when with friends indicates a need to fit in and seek validation. The singer acknowledges the presence of fear in certain situations, perhaps hinting at the dangers or consequences they may face due to their lifestyle.
The line "Another victim of these odd ways" suggests that the singer views themselves as caught in a cycle of unconventional or unconventional behavior. They acknowledge their position and the need to conform, indicating they have embraced their unique path. The reference to having their feelings in these lines implies that the song itself serves as an outlet for the singer's emotions.
Overall, "Odd Ways" explores themes of internal struggle, societal pressures, and the pursuit of identity and acceptance.

They go ahead, they just past shit
Others go on with their lives, ignoring the things that matter
They being dragged, the frequency is mad lit
They are influenced and captivated by the popular trends and culture
I'll take a drive just act cool
I'll pretend to be calm and collected as I go for a drive
One tear, shit I wouldn't call it 'cry'
I shed a tear, but it doesn't fully express my emotions
I'm just tryna get my mind straight, feel a little fine
I'm simply trying to clear my thoughts and find some peace
One beer be turning into five
Drinking one beer leads to me consuming more than intended
Looking up to see my mom's face drippin' through the sky
I feel a deep connection with my mom even though she's no longer with me
It's dumb clear, I be lit when I arrive
It's very obvious, I become excited when I reach my destination
She be quick to see my eyes blazed when chilling with the guys
She notices that my eyes are bloodshot when I hang out with my friends
Much fear when it's niggas in the ride
There is a sense of unease when certain individuals are in the car with me
This shit different from the Tri-state
This situation is unlike anything I've experienced before
Been spitting up the lye 'til my lungs clear
I've been coughing up smoke until my lungs feel clear
I should've saw the vibes
I should have recognized the negative energy
We been living without God's grace, grimace in the time
We have been living without divine guidance, struggling through difficult times
Yeah, here go my feelings in these lines
Here, I express my emotions through these lyrics
Another victim of these odd ways
I am yet another person affected by unconventional behaviors
Position me on top when I was really sittin' sideways
People put me in a position of success, but I was actually in a stagnant state
This all I got, this what it is, or hit the highway
This is everything I have, it's either accept it or move on
I know my job, this shit was written 'fore the hype came
I understand my purpose, this was destined before the fame and attention
I even felt alive, one mistake could make your life change
I have experienced moments of excitement, but one wrong move can alter everything
You know them lies you should to tell me what it's like, gang
You know those false stories you used to share with me about your lifestyle, my friend
You in the ride or you dippin' when the price raised
Are you staying by my side or leaving when things get tough
You lit then your life drain
When you are caught up in the temporary excitement, your life energy diminishes
You know the vibes you only gettin' with the right name
You understand the energy and experiences that come with having the right reputation
Deeper than the plot, we puttin' secrets on the white page
We are revealing hidden truths and personal revelations in a transparent manner
Deepest in my heart, I can't be fiending for a white face
Deep within me, I cannot crave superficial validation
A strong soul but my mind crazy
I possess inner strength but my thoughts are erratic
Strong soul but my mind crazy
A resilient spirit despite my troubled mind
Strong soul but my mind crazy
Despite my mental instability, I have a resilient core
