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.

Mess
Get Scared Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that you look
I know it's almost over
The fighting has stopped
But I'm still so lost
will you bring me in?
Shame creeps down my spine
And it's taking it's time
Will you wait for me?
Cause now I can't breathe
The air runs thin
I'm another lush
I'm another liar
How will I stop?
When will I start learning?
Will I come clean to say that I'm wrong?
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
I'm the best kind of mess
I'm the best kind of mess
I'm the best kind of mess
You know that it hurts so bad
I wish I could stop
But I'm so used to sad
You asked me to leave
So now I believe
That I'm shut out
Now I'm taking this pill just to mend it
I'm not calling the shots
I'm just calling it quits
Would you love me, would you hold me
In this wreck I am?
I'm another lush
I'm another liar
How will I stop?
When will I start learning?
Will I come clean to say that I'm wrong?
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
How will I stop?
When will I start learning?
Will I come clean to say that I'm wrong?
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
I'm the best kind of mess
I forget, I'm obsessed
With watching her fall out of love
Is this a test, cause I'm depressed
By watching her fall out of love
How will I stop?
When will I start learning?
Will I come clean to say that I'm wrong?
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
How will I stop?
When will I start learning?
Will I come clean to say that I'm wrong?
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
I'm the best kind of mess
I'm the best kind of mess
I'm the best kind of mess
I'm the best kind of mess
You know that it hurts so bad
The lyrics of this song by Get Scared convey a sense of desperation and longing for connection with someone. The singer is sober and recognizes that their relationship is about to end. They feel lost and ashamed, and are hoping that their partner will bring them back in. They feel like a “lush” and a “liar” and wonder when they will start learning from their mistakes. Despite this, they also say that they are the “best kind of mess” and seem to be resigned to the fact that they are unable to change.
The second verse of the song describes the singer taking pills to cope with the pain of their relationship. They are no longer in control and are just “calling it quits”. They are hoping for love and acceptance from their partner, despite the fact that they feel like they are “shut out”. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer’s internal struggle and desire to learn from their mistakes.
The bridge of the song describes the singer’s obsession with watching their partner fall out of love with them. They are depressed and feel like it’s a test they are failing. The final chorus repeats the same questions and the same idea that the singer is the “best kind of mess”. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling with addiction and needing love and acceptance from others, while also recognizing their own shortcomings and failures.
Line by Line Meaning
Talk to me now while I'm sober
I want you to speak to me now while I'm still in the right headspace to understand you
The way that you look
Your appearance gives away that our relationship is almost over
I know it's almost over
I am aware that our relationship is ending soon
The fighting has stopped
We aren't arguing anymore, but it doesn't mean everything is resolved
But I'm still so lost
I'm still struggling to find my way after everything we've been through
will you bring me in?
Can you help me find my place in this relationship again?
Shame creeps down my spine
I feel a heavy sense of embarrassment and guilt
Like the blade of a knife
It's hurting me just as badly as a sharp knife would
And it's taking its time
The shame and guilt are lingering and being slow to pass
Will you wait for me?
Can you be patient and understanding while I work through these emotions?
Cause now I can't breathe
The weight of my emotions is suffocating me
The air runs thin
I am struggling to catch my breath because of the heaviness of my emotions
I'm another lush
I am someone who struggles with addiction and drinking problems
I'm another liar
I have a tendency to lie and be dishonest
How will I stop?
I don't know how to break the cycle of addiction and lying
When will I start learning?
I want to start making positive changes in my life and learn from my mistakes
Will I come clean to say that I'm wrong?
Am I willing to admit my mistakes and apologize for them?
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
Even though I have so many flaws and have made many mistakes, I'm still worth loving
You know it hurts so bad
The pain of losing you is unbearable
I wish I could stop
I wish I could make everything right and fix our relationship
But I'm so used to sad
I've grown accustomed to feeling sad and being in a difficult relationship
You asked me to leave
You don't want me around anymore and have asked me to go
So now I believe
I am finally accepting that our relationship is over
That I'm shut out
I am completely cut off and separated from you
Now I'm taking this pill just to mend it
I'm trying to use substances to cope and fix what's broken
I'm not calling the shots
I am not in control of my life and my decisions
I'm just calling it quits
I am giving up on trying to salvage our relationship and choosing to leave
Would you love me, would you hold me
I am seeking comfort and affection from you, even though we are breaking up
In this wreck I am?
Can you provide me with stability and support, despite the chaos in my life?
I forget, I'm obsessed
I am unable to let go and move on from our relationship, despite knowing it's not healthy
With watching her fall out of love
I am fixated on seeing the person I love slowly lose feelings for me
Is this a test, cause I'm depressed
I'm questioning whether all of this pain and struggle is a test in life, and I'm struggling with depression because of it
I'm the best kind of mess (Yeah, yeah)
Despite all my flaws and mistakes, I believe I am still worth loving
