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.

Parade
Get Scared Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Come on)
Like a parade we march ourselves in one by one
Like the infection, that bleeds out inside of us
Locked in a cage but you can take the beast
We've gotten sick of structure
Call the doctor for us...
Before I burn this bitch down
Tonight, tonight you know i’ll save you
Tonight, tonight i’ll bring you back (yeah)
Tonight, tonight you know i’ll save you
Tonight, tonight i’ll bring you back
I’m gonna let this bitch burn
I'm not a slave, I won't be guided to a grave in
A masquerade, you'll hide your face
You got it out for me
Like strangers in the night
Holding close their sharpened knives
I've had it, it's dramatic so I'm running away...
Somebody get me out
Before I burn this bitch down
Tonight, tonight you know i’ll save you
Tonight, tonight i’ll bring you back (yeah)
Tonight, tonight you know i’ll save you
Tonight, tonight i’ll bring you back
I’m gonna let this bitch burn
Someone drag me from this nightmare
I can barely stand it
Somebody get me out
Before I burn this, burn this, burn this down
Tonight, tonight you know i’ll save you
Tonight, tonight i’ll bring you back (yeah)
Tonight, tonight you know i’ll save you
Tonight, tonight i’ll bring you back (yeah)
Before the sun returns
I'm gonna let it burn
Before the sun returns
I'm gonna let this bitch burn
Before the sun returns
I'm gonna let this bitch burn
In "Parade", Get Scared uses strong imagery to describe feeling trapped and controlled by societal norms and expectations. The lyrics compare the experience to a parade or an infectious disease, where individuals feel like they must conform and follow others in order to be accepted. The line "Locked in a cage but you can take the beast" suggests that there is a desire to break free from these constraints, but it is difficult to do so. There is a sense of frustration and desperation conveyed in the lyrics, as the singer calls for someone to help them before they resort to extreme measures such as burning everything down.
The chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer promises to "save you" and "bring you back" tonight. There is an underlying sense of rebellion and defiance throughout the song, as the singer refuses to be a "slave" and is willing to let everything burn down in order to escape. The use of the word "bitch" in the lyrics adds to the edginess of the song and reinforces the idea that the singer is fed up with being controlled by others.
Overall, "Parade" is a powerful anthem for those who feel stuck and suffocated by societal expectations. It encourages listeners to break free from the constraints of conformity and embrace their true selves, even if it means going against the norm.
