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."
Hero
Martin Garrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see you're not ready?
My arms are getting heavy from the weight of the world
It's up to me and I'm getting sweaty
Is it too much to hold?
A thousand voices whisper noise
Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no
When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark
Can't you see you got old?
You waited too long and you let time go
Place your bets when it all comes down
Fold your cards and you blame the house
A thousand voices whisper noise
They plan my fall from grace
Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no
When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Love don't last in the dark
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Can't you see you got old?
You waited too long and you let time go
Place your bets when it all comes down
Fold your cards and you blame the house
Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no
When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark
The lyrics to Martin Garrix's "Hero" convey a sense of frustration and disappointment from the perspective of the singer. The opening lines suggest the singer is experiencing a difficult time and feels burdened by the expectations placed on him. He feels like he is alone in bearing the weight of the world and is struggling to hold on.
The first verse then shifts to a description of the singer's predicament. He is plagued by the voices of others who plan to bring him down, but he continues to push through despite the odds. The chorus emphasizes the singer's reluctance to be seen as a hero or savior. He expresses that people say they want a hero, but in reality, they do not. Rather, they tend to blame him when things go wrong. He highlights that love does not last in the dark, suggesting that the singer's relationships have been difficult and plagued by hardships.
The second verse continues with a sense of frustration as the singer calls out those who have waited too long and placed their bets. He suggests that they are quick to blame others when things go wrong rather than taking responsibility for their actions. The chorus then repeats, with the singer emphasizing that he does not want to be seen as a hero and that people need to recognize their own contributions to their problems.
