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.

Hurt
Get Scared Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do you sleep through the night
Where do you go when you hide
Waiting for the truth to call
I don't fear you anymore
How do you think I'm alright
It's the way you've changed
And I like the way you hurt inside
Always waiting for the worst, to get me by
And I like the way you hurt
Doesn't really come
Doesn't really come as a surprise
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
From all the years that went by
Through all of your shit I've survived
You would have thought I had died
But I made it out alive
How do you sleep through the night
It's the lies you gave
Now the roles have changed
And I like the way you hurt inside
Always waiting for the worst, to get me by
And I like the way you hurt
Doesn't really come
Doesn't really come as a surprise
It's no surprise
It's no surprise
It's the lies you gave
Now the roles have changed
And I like the way you hurt inside
Always waiting for the worst, to get me by
And I like the way you hurt
After all you've done, look what I've become
And I like the way you hurt inside
Always waiting for the worst, to get me by
And I like the way you hurt
Doesn't really come
It doesn't really come as a surprise
In "Hurt" by Get Scared, the lyrics tell a story of someone who has been hurt by another person and is now reveling in the schadenfreude of seeing them hurt in return. The singer questions how the other person can sleep at night and where they go when they hide, waiting for the truth to call. The line "I don't fear you anymore" indicates that this person has moved on from their fear of the other individual and is now taking pleasure in their pain.
The lyrics go on to reference the past, noting that the singer has survived "all of your shit" and has come out alive. It's clear that the other person has been lying to the singer and now the roles have changed, with the singer enjoying seeing the other person hurt inside, always waiting for the worst to get by.
Overall, "Hurt" is a song about revenge and the satisfaction of seeing someone who has hurt you in pain. It's a dark and brooding track that showcases Get Scared's ability to create moody and emotional songs.
