In 2012, Garritsen signed a professional contract with Spinnin' Records until terminating his contract in 2015 and cutting ties with his management, MusicalAllStars on August 25, 2015. In a subsequent lawsuit against the record company, Garritsen won back his rights to his songs released under the label between 2012 and 2015, winning his case in a 2017 court ruling. Earlier in 2016, Martijn created his label imprint 'STMPD RCRDS', which was a tribute to his father's role in the stamp business.
On July 26, 2016, Garritsen signed a 'worldwide' contract with Sony Music International. Explaining that, "their forward thinking approach to streaming and incredible roster of talented artists combined with their passion and understanding for my vision of the future of my music made this a no brainer."
Break Through The Silence
Martin Garrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen it all before
I′m going down like a renegade
And I'm still begging from more
This is the last time I tell you to open your eyes
The city is sleepin, the monsters outside
The fire is burnin', there′s no where to hide
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
There are lights that'll lead away
To what we searching for
A million miles from yesterday
And it′s right here on the floor
This is the last time I tell you to open your eyes
The city is sleepin, the monsters outside
The fire is burnin' there′s no way to hide
And I won't say it anymore
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
