1. A Black/Death Metal ban… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1. A Black/Death Metal band from Blue Mountains, Australia
2. A Brazilian indie rock band lead by Rodrigo Cรฉsar (aka Rodrigo Guedes) (Killing Chainsaw) from Londrina, Paranรก.
3. A pseudonym of German minimal electro artist Paul Kalkbrenner.
1. The Australian Grenade began in 1998 after guitarist, Nigel, then a member of two other underground Sydney metal bands, found three fellow metal maniacs, who knew their way around their instruments, to give spirit and form to music that he had begun writing literally years before. After considering a number of names, the band settled on Grenade as a fitting description of the assault their music conveys.
Grenade made their first live foray in Adelaide in 1999 as part of Metalmorphosis, an all-Australian twelve-band metalfest that saw them featured on a bill that also included Elysium, Stargazer, and Lord Kaos.
The band decided that instead of rushing into recording, they would focus on rehearsals and playing live, over the years participating in a legion of gigs in several states, playing alongside Destrรถyer 666, Gospel of the Horns, Incantation, Anatomy, Misery, Nunslaughter, Vomitor, Dungeon, Miscreation, and Urgrund amongst others.
In July, 2001 Grenade compiled their Rugged Rehearsal demo from rough, private recordings made over the two years preceding, in the form of a three-track tape and CD, the disc having two bonus tracks on top. In June 2003, Grenade released a 7" EP, Venom of God, featuring the title track and Carnivorous Lunar Activities, through the now defunct Australian underground metal label, Decius Productions. This was the first studio release for the band. June 2004 saw the release of another 7" EP: Hellsong, through the French label Aura Mystique. The band were at work on their debut full-length album, The Howling Damned.
In 2006, the group disbanded for a brief period, before founding member Nigel announced that he planned to continue with the group.
2. Grenade started out as former Killing Chainsaw Rodrigo Guede's lo-fi project. Then a couple of years ago - already as a band - they released a self-titled album which summarized Guede's main influences: Neil Young, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kinks.

Oh, take, take, take it all, but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue, beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman, that's just what you are
Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no
The song Grenade by Bruno Mars is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love. The lyrics describe the pain that the singer is going through as they gave their all to their lover, but they never received the same level of love and affection back. The opening lines "Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live, Oh, take, take, take it all, but you never give" set the tone for the entire song. The singer knows that their love is mismatched, with their partner being selfish and only taking from them without giving anything back.
The chorus is where the singer describes the extent of their love for their partner. They would catch a grenade or throw themselves on a blade or jump in front of a train for their partner. They would do anything for them, even die for them. The repetition of "yeah, yeah, yeah" emphasizes the desperation and intensity of their love.
The second verse talks about how the singer has been physically abused by their partner. They have been beaten black and blue, and their partner is described as a "mad woman, bad woman." Despite all of this, the singer's love remains strong, and they would still catch a grenade for their partner.
Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of the pain of unrequited love and the lengths that someone would go through for their partner. It is a powerful reminder that love is not always fair, and that sometimes one person's love is stronger than the other's.

Such a weird feeling when you've been together with someone so long and you actually hold them in your heart but then they...just become someone else. What to feel? Anger? Sadness? fuck.

Happiness. Thatโs what you should feel, even though itโs easier said than done. Weโve all been there, and it all takes time. Just be happy whatever happened, happened.
