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.

Drown
Get Scared Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a thousand waves deep in the ocean, ocean, ocean?
Should I drown myself now?
Did you crash on me? I know you're over thinking things
But I need this, need this, need this from you so bad now
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in
After all of this pain you won't see me
Drown me now
Through the fire and the smoke you can breathe me
Drown me out
Is it me or are you the same as the weather?
It makes me uneasy knowing, knowing
How unpredictable you can be
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in
Drown me out
After all of this pain you won't see me
Drown me now
Though the fire and the smoke you can breathe me
Drown me out
Drown me out, just drown me out
Drown me out
Am I willing to make it, willing to make up my mind?
This decision is everything, everything
Am I willing to fake it, willing to fake my whole life?
This is decision is everything, everything
And you know, you know
This takes the life from me
Takes the life from me
Life from me
And you know, you know
This takes the life from me
Takes the life of me
Life from me
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in
Drown me out
After all of this pain you won't see me
Drown me now
Though the fire and the smoke you can breathe me
Drown me out
Drown me out (just drown me out)
Drown me now
Just drown me out
The lyrics to Get Scared's song "Drown" portray the feeling of being lost and uncertain in life. The first two lines of the lyrics suggest that the singer is not sure whether they are free or just lost in a sea of endless possibilities. They wonder if they should just give up and let themselves drown to escape the confusion entirely.
The next few lines talk about the pain and uncertainty caused by other people's thoughts and actions. The singer feels like they need someone to help them navigate their way through life, but they also acknowledge that people can be unpredictable and just as unsettling as the weather. They are reluctant to give up and surrender to the pain/grief because of its physical and emotional toll on them.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer is not willing to let go of life and its challenges. They understand that they must make a decision and that it will have consequences both good and bad. Ultimately, the singer chooses to fight and not give up.
Overall, the song's message is one of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite feeling lost and uncertain, the singer decides to fight and not give up.
