With over 1 million hits on their Myspace page, over 100K friends and a loyal and dedicated fan base the future of rock has arrived – GET SCARED.
Their full length release, ‘Best Kind of Mess’, was produced and engineered by John Feldmann (Atreyu, The Used, Goldfinger) in California during the spring and summer of 2010.
The band signed to Fearless Records in 2013 and released their second album 'Everyone's Out To Get Me' later that year. In 2014, they spent the summer touring with the Warped Tour lineup. Their third full length album 'Demons' was released in 2015.
Late 2018 Johnny showed his true colours and outed Nicholas' heroin addiction. Nick was not happy with that at all and he had not approved of Johnny saying that online, publicly. The rumoured album was delayed and was released April 19th in 2019. The band later broke up due to disagreement. Nicholas released a statement video on YouTube in September, explaining how Johnny had controlled the bandmembers social media and
promoted his own music through Get Scared. The other bandmembers got enough of it.

Get Scared Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside
Yeah!
This life that I have sworn to
But I never wanted this for anyone
Sick from the weight left on my chest
No, don't tell me I'm alright
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside (See inside)
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
I'm an addict force of habit on the double
I spark the static for dramatics
Call me trouble
You never would believe
What I have become
And still I can't believe
I'm running!
No, don't tell me I'm alright
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside (See inside)
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
And honestly I'm so far from home
Without a way to get back to me
Without a way to get back
No, don't tell me I'm alright
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
No, don't tell me I'm alright
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside (See inside)
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
The lyrics to the Get Scared song "Addict" paint a picture of someone struggling with addiction and the toll it is taking on their life. The first lines are a plea to not be told that everything is okay, as the more they fall, the less alive they feel. It's hard for them to see through the darkness of their addiction, and they invite the listener to take a look "behind the curtain of demise."
The second verse gets more intense, with the declaration that they are an "addict force of habit on the double" who "spark the static for dramatics." They acknowledge that no one would believe what they have become, and they can't believe they are running from themselves. The chorus repeats, urging the listener not to tell them everything is alright and to look deeper into the destruction this addiction has caused.
The bridge gives a glimpse into the sense of loss and disorientation the addict is experiencing, admitting they are "so far from home" with no way to get back to themselves. The song ends with a final plea to not be told they are okay and to see the reality behind the facade.
