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.

If it is handled properly, it is always new
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Hey, ayy
Smoking many spliffs 'cause I
Can’t sleep at night
Running through these kicks, I'm
Burning, I just think about the sweeter times
Make them prices high
Even when that fee declined
Miss the reason, my
Swear the city need a guide
Out here, I don’t need to hide, ayy
If I need to slide
'Bout it, can't put me inside
If you need a slice
Expensive and the cheaper kind, ayy
Need my peace of mind
Out here like it's Vietnam, me oh, me oh my
Make them dreams alive, thought you saw me
Where it probably wasn't seed of mine, ayy
Now the seed I find
Put me out this preaching grind, ayy, mmh

In the opening verse, Mike expresses his reliance on smoking "many spliffs" as a means to cope with his inability to sleep at night.

The second verse continues to explore these themes. Mike reflects on the bittersweet moments of life, likening them to burning and thinking about sweeter times. He acknowledges the high prices and declining fees associated with his lifestyle, perhaps alluding to the costs and consequences of his choices.

The lyrics touch on the desire for peace of mind and the vicissitudes of life, using vivid imagery such as Vietnam and dreams coming alive.
Overall, "Sleepwalk" captures a sense of restlessness and introspection. It portrays the struggle to find solace and purpose while navigating the complexities of urban life. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the mind of someone seeking moments of tranquility amidst the chaos.
