'Public transport is a great place to think, as you’re surrounded by a perfectly average set of people. All traveling, and with just as unique and complex lives as yours, yet all so different. There’s a name for this experience, it’s called: sonder. You can end up sitting across some homeless guy, wondering: how much shit can I take before I’ll end up just like him? The answer is probably less than you might think. And while you get curious to what it would be like, he says: out with it and without it, no ties. This song is about seeing mirrors where you don’t want to see them.'

Out With It And Without It

Out With It And Without It (Live)

Sail By (Live)

Fading Slowly (Live)

Single Filter Exit is the second single of the forthcoming EP by Dutch alternative Rockband Grenadeers. The song is set in a post-apocalyptic scene, in which none of the Paris Agreement’s long term climate goals were met. The band deals with the question on how they would look back on the times we live in now, while searching their own conscience as well. They wonder if they were also guiltly, standing in the midst of it all without truly grasping the width of the problem because they were absorbed by their daily worries. It’s not a comfortable notion, and in this song there’s no happy end. But it is an honest reflection of what occupies the band’s minds in these turbulent times.

Lyrics
-----------------------------

Single Filter Exit

Greta asked
But all she got were sneers
So alone and vulnerable though what she said was clear 
At first the audience went blank
But opposition slowly drove a wedge inside their ranks

Now it’s so hard to see the light between the cracks

All we did
Is take the single filter exit
No one really acted
It’s painful to admit
This is the single filter exit
I was also guilty
Stood there and looked at it

For a while I could live in parallel
Absorbed by daily worries, though in essence overwhelmed
But as the soil went dry
By politicians’ forked tongues
All doors were closed and every ray of hope was long gone

I realized the ways I thought were right were proven wrong

All we did
Is take the single filter exit
No one really acted
It’s painful to admit

This is the single filter exit
I was also guilty
Stood there and looked at it
It’s painful to admit

Single Filter Exit

Stranglehold is the third single from the upcoming EP by dutch alternative rockband Grenadeers. The song deals with the familiar story of not fitting in, being casted out, trying to serve an environment that doesn’t serve you. The band draws on first hand experience, as frontman Siep van Rijswijk was a highschool dropout and had troubles to find his way within the educational system. Eventually he found a safe harbour in music, and the song reflects the feeling of empowerment this brought about. Stranglehold poses critique on how society deals with eccentric people: they’re perceived as an inconvenient disruption within the general course of affairs. But most of all, Stranglehold is a song for all the misfits.
