1. MIKE (born Michael Jordan Bonema on October 13th, 1998) is a rapper originally from New Jersey but currently based out of New York City. He usually drops his projects on either of the solstices (June 21st or December 21st) each year.
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.

My love
Love, my love
Been controlling the hisses and smoking a bit
Ain't got a hold of this business, I'm going with it
I know he hope when he give it, it's only a gift
I couldn't glow where I fit in, I'm lonely as shit
I can't float in this city, unholy abyss
It mean the most when you hit me, it show I exist
I couldn't cope with these feelings like Romeo did
That puffer coat been a victim, the coldest of winds
I wanna mope but resist it, I owe it to win
I'll be your coach, give you tips on this culture ascent
For sure that rope getting thinner, I overextend
On the coast of repenting, I almost can swim
But I'm too focused on revenging the culprit again
I swear I wrote this with intention of closing this bridge
He let her go to that extent, ain't no shoulder to give
I know that potion never answer, the dosage is big
I wanna blow up but it's cherished, I owe it to twin
I'm always hoping you the nearest, you always a gift
We about to play some exclusive shit
So back the fuck off my face if you ain't talking 'bout no cheesecake
In these lyrics, Mike reflects on his emotional struggles and the difficulties he faces in fitting into society. He uses the metaphor of controlling hissing snakes to represent his inner demons and the vices that he indulges in, particularly smoking. He acknowledges that he hasn't quite figured out how to handle his troubles but accepts that he's going with the flow and embracing whatever comes his way.
Mike expresses a desire for reassurance and support from his loved ones. He hopes that even though he feels lonely and isolated, the person he's addressing still has hope for him and recognizes his existence. He uses the comparison to Romeo, possibly alluding to the character's inability to cope with his emotions, suggesting that he too struggles with intense feelings that he doesn't know how to handle.
The lyrics continue with references to a puffer coat and the coldest of winds, symbolizing the harsh realities he faces. Despite wanting to wallow in his negative emotions, he resists and reminds himself of his determination to succeed. Mike even offers himself as a coach, providing guidance on navigating the culture and society they live in.
At the same time, Mike acknowledges his own vulnerability. He mentions that the rope is getting thinner, suggesting that he's pushing himself to the limit, almost drowning in the process. However, he's too consumed by thoughts of revenge against those who have wronged him to fully focus on swimming to safety.
Mike mentions writing the lyrics with the intention of closing a bridge, possibly representing a relationship or connection that has been severed. He recognizes that there is no one to lean on for comfort or support and acknowledges that there's no easy solution to his problems. The reference to a potion suggests that he's seeking an answer or escape, but he knows deep down that true success and contentment cannot be achieved through shortcuts.
In the final lines, Mike switches gears and addresses someone interrupting him during a moment of creative expression. He tells them to back off if they're not going to contribute positively to the conversation. He uses the metaphor of cheesecake, possibly referencing materialistic or shallow topics that he has no interest in discussing. This could be interpreted as a plea for genuine and meaningful communication and connection in his life.
