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."
Drown
Martin Garrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But in an instant, you break me down
I know better than to want you
But I succumb to you without a doubt
Now the water is rising
And I'm too tired to swim
And my lungs just can't take it
Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all to keep me close to you
Pull me under the way you do
Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Ohh-ohh-oh, anything at all to keep me close to you
Ohh-ohh-oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
(Ohh-ohh-oh), Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
(Ohh-ohh-oh), Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
I'm so used to your excuses
That when you bruise me I stick around
No point trying to make it out now
Rather be sinking, then go without
And now the water is rising
And I'm too tired to swim
And my lungs just can't take it
But I keep breathing you in, so
Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all to keep me close to you
Pull me under the way you do
Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Ohh-ohh-oh, anything at all to keep me close to you
Ohh-ohh-oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
(Ohh-ohh-oh), Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
(Ohh-ohh-oh), Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all to keep me close to you
Pull me under the way you do
Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
