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 ↴
Digging out the hole like a
Barrel and the smoke
If you think I fear you than you bold
I'm comparable to cold
Man ya niggas need respect and
Some Theraflu to go
Ain't no therapeutic flows
And I been running from the jakes
I got some emeralds to glow
I pray that I'm memorable when old
Visions of my past got my temple moving slow
Steady pedal in these roads
I'm ready for confetti
Spittin' heavy till I choke
He said I'm like a yetti holding coke
Cause you ain't even know if it's
The yetti or the coke
Stumble off my papa Henny, ready to explode
With my head beneath the snow, ay ay
Tell em 'cut that shit out'
Winter New York, tell em 'cut that shit out'
Cut that shit
In the first verse of "Boiling Point," Mike reflects on the challenges and setbacks he has faced in his pursuit of his goals. He describes himself as being stuck beneath his goals, digging out of a metaphorical hole, comparing it to a barrel with smoke. This could suggest that he feels overwhelmed or trapped by the pressure to succeed. Despite this, he asserts that he doesn't fear those who doubt him, suggesting that he is determined and resilient.
Mike then references the need for respect and the therapeutic qualities of Theraflu, a cold medicine. This could be seen as a metaphor for the recognition and validation he desires from others, as well as the healing power of his music. He believes that his talent is unmatched, claiming that he possesses a unique ability to compose and perform. This confidence is further reinforced by his reference to running from the "jakes," a slang term for the police. He implies that his success allows him to live a life filled with luxury, symbolized by the emeralds that glow.
The second verse delves into Mike's desire for longevity and the impact he hopes to have on the world. He expresses a hope to be remembered and respected in old age, suggesting a desire for a lasting legacy. However, he acknowledges the weight of his past experiences, which weigh down on him and slow his progress. Despite this burden, he remains determined, pedaling steadily on his journey towards success.
The verse continues with Mike preparing for the explosion of his talent. He likens himself to a yeti, a mythical creature associated with strength and mystery, holding coke, possibly alluding to a metaphorical substance that fuels his creativity and energy. This imagery suggests that he is on the brink of something great, ready to unleash his full potential. The mention of Henny, short for Hennessy, a popular brand of cognac, implies that he is ready to indulge and celebrate. However, he also mentions having his head buried beneath the snow, which could represent the pressure and challenges he faces.
The repeated line "Cut that shit out" in the chorus serves as a direct command, asserting Mike's authority and determination to weed out negativity and distractions. It could be interpreted as a call for others to take him seriously and not underestimate his potential. The reference to Winter New York suggests a cold environment, which could symbolize the harsh realities of pursuing success in a crowded and competitive industry. Overall, "Boiling Point" seems to capture Mike's resilience, self-confidence, and determination to overcome obstacles and make his mark in the world of music.

I been stuck beneath my goals
I have been struggling to achieve my aspirations
Digging out the hole like a Barrel and the smoke
Putting in the effort to overcome obstacles, just like digging through a barrel full of smoke
If you think I fear you than you bold
If you believe I am intimidated by you, then you must be very confident
I'm comparable to cold
I am as chilling and unaffected as cold
Man ya niggas need respect and Some Theraflu to go
You guys need both respect and a remedy for your problems
Ain't no therapeutic flows
My music does not provide any healing or comfort
When you hear the dude compose
When you listen to my music creation
And I been running from the jakes
I have been evading law enforcement
I got some emeralds to glow
I possess valuable things that shine brightly
I pray that I'm memorable when old
I hope to leave a lasting impression as I age
Visions of my past got my temple moving slow
Thoughts and memories of my past experiences are slowing down my mind
Steady pedal in these roads
I am consistently working hard in my journey
I'm ready for confetti Spittin' heavy till I choke
I am prepared for celebration, giving my all until I am overwhelmed
He said I'm like a yetti holding coke
Someone compared me to a mythical creature holding drugs
Cause you ain't even know if it's The yetti or the coke
Because you cannot distinguish whether it is the yetti or the cocaine

After consuming alcohol, I am unsteady and prepared to burst with energy
With my head beneath the snow, ay ay

Tell em 'cut that shit out'
Instructing others to stop behaving foolishly
Winter New York, tell em 'cut that shit out'
Referring to the coldness and toughness of New York, urging others to stop their nonsense
