Okay I know we all love the idea of Mike being Vecnad go Smalltown Boy or something but what about I ran (so far away). Like picture the song starting on the instrumental and then it starts and Vecna is showing Mike all these visions of Will because we know Mike wants Will. Mike is terrified and he’s still trying to run from his feelings so he just keeps running and the song is literally like saying “I ran so far away” and finally when he gets out of the trance he lands in Wills arms and the song says “I couldn’t get away.” LIKE WHAT! THAT WOULD SYMBOLIZE HES TRYING TO RUN FROM HIS FEELINGS BUT HE CANT GET AWAY FROM THEM!

incoming byler theory, shoegate!!!
So we've seen Mike wearing Will's shoes in s5 for whatever reason.... but could it be symbolism?
in simple words, literally AND figuratively Mike is putting himself in Will's shoes. figuratively, because s5 Mike is going to experience what s4 Will went through. Their roles are going to be reversed.
the phrase "to put yourself in someone else's shoes" is to experience (or at least imagine) what they went/are going through.
firstly, s4 was strictly filmed from Will's pov, showing almost nothing from Mike's. this does make it feel as if mikes character arc has been left on a cliff hanger since the ending of s3, where we did get to see more into Mike's mind, and that spoke a lot to us.
so far, what we can confirm is that Will Byers is in love with Mike Wheeler, mostly from his pov being the main focus of the love triangle in s4. they made it clear for us. yet, Mike's perspective is still blurry.
thats the main reason why i think it would only make sense for s5 to show Mike's pov a LOT, and reveal some things that weren't necessarily obvious in s4 (for one, Mike's feelings for Will).
knowing we're finally going to be seeing Mike's pov, we'll see him pining over Will, just like Will did s4. they are going to switch their roles on screen, we'll see Mike, now that he doesn't have to deal with his relationship issues with El and his (not necessarily) new issue of how he doesn't think Will could ever love him back. and Will, is going to be trying to resolve issues with his connections to vecna.
my main point is, the writers are going to figuratively put Mike in wills shoes. Mike is going to be pining over Will this season, and it will be explicitly shown this time.
not done!!!
these are Mike and Will's shoes in s2. keep note of the designs and colors.
these are Mike's shoes in s5. coincidentally (not), they have the same design as his shoes in s2. but the colors seem to be the opposite?
now these are Will's shoes in s5. they too keep the same design as his own shoes in s2, and the colors are opposite, just like Mike's shoes.
or... the colors are reversed.
Mike and Will's shoes kept the same designs from s2, but the colors are reversed, just like their roles will be in s5.

in my heart of hearts mike wheeler is absolutely an athena kid but i also have to offer up a concept that i think has extreme comedic and dramatic potential aka: repressed gay teenager mike showing up at camp half blood unsure of who his godly parent is and feeling insecure about not having powers and one day when he’s making not-so-secret heart eyes at his best friend and son of apollo will byers is when a bunch of glowing floating hearts show up above his head. and that’s how mike gets claimed by none other than aphrodite, the goddess of love and sexuality, and is in full denial about it for three days because he thinks it’s some kind of sick and twisted JOKE
(on aphrodite’s end, she’s upset mike is throwing away the gift of true love and keeps trying to trick him out of repression by making more and more improbable and hilarious gifts appear when he and will are hanging out. mike hands will a book and it turns into a box of chocolates and he has to fling it away like a frisbee before will sees it. they’re having lunch and romantic music starts playing. she gives mike the same blessing she used to claim piper and will can’t even look in his direction for a full day because he starts blushing so hard. fifty bouquets of flowers show up at the apollo cabin’s doorstep with a note that says love, mike and by the end of it, mike isn’t even repressed and unsure about his sexuality anymore — he’s just trying to not throw himself into the bonfire out of sheer embarrassment)

One night he wakes, strange look on his face
Pauses, then says “You're my best friend”
And you knew what it was, he is in love

SPEAK NOW (TAYLOR’S VERSION) + STRANGER THINGS part one || part two
innocent. willel
Time turns flames to embers || You'll have new Septembers || Every one of us has messed up, too || Minds change like the weather || I hope you remember || Today is never too late to be brand new
haunted. lucas
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this || I thought I had you figured out || Something's gone terribly wrong || Won't finish what you started || Come on, come on, don't leave me like this || I thought I had you figured out || Can't breathe whenever you're gone || I can't go back, I'm haunted
last kiss. steve
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep || And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe || And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are || Hope it's nice where you are || And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day || And something reminds you you wish you had stayed || You can plan for a change in the weather and time || But I never planned on you changing your mind
long live. the party
Long, long live the walls we crashed through || How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you || And I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made" || And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid || Singing, "Long live all the mountains we moved" || I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you || And long, long live that look on your face || And bring on all the pretenders || One day, we will be remembered
ours. ronance
So don't you worry your pretty little mind || People throw rocks at things that shine || And life makes love look hard || Don't you worry your pretty little mind || People throw rocks at things that shine || But they can't take what's ours || They can't take what's ours || The stakes are high, the water's rough || But this love is ours
when emma falls in love. nancy
‘Cause she's the kind of book that you can't put down || Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town || And all the bad boys would be good boys || If they only had a chance to love her
castles crumble. steve
Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty || Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me || Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far || I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart || Power went to my head and I couldn't stop || Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off || And here I sit alone behind walls of regret || Falling down like promises that I never kept
foolish one. will
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception || You will never learn your lesson, foolish one || Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come || You will take the long way, you will take the long way down || Foolish one || Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come || You will have to learn the hard way instead of walking out"

cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
i'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
and you will say you had the best of intentions
and maybe i will finally learn my lesson
