1.) Forming late 2009, Mallory Knox (UK) initially formed as a creative outlet for the 5 members of the band. Collaborating their various influences, Mikey, Sam, Joe, Dave and James set about writing music that they wanted to hear themselves.
After three months of writing, the band began to play shows and establish their name in the local music scene. After quickly establishing a loyal fan base, Mallory Knox went into the studio to record their debut EP, entitled “Pilot”, with Dan Lancaster (We Are The Ocean, Lower Than Atlantis, Proceed) at Studio Glasseye. The release of Pilot a few months later built the boys fan base and reputation further and gained them substantial notice within the industry.
After signing with SGR management (Stuart Gili-ross from Gallows) MK quickly became more than a local hometown band; playing across the country on their first tour with Never Means Maybe, as well as being endorsed by Rockstar energy drink. The recent release of their first video “Oceans” which reached as high as number 2 in the most requested Scuzz chart, as well as a number of tours to be annonced for the first quarter or 2011, sets Mallory Knox up for both a productive and exciting end to their first full year as a band.

Mallory Knox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's a piece of me everywhere you go
You'll be fine here as you sit still
You got to let me in or let me go before you drown
You got to let me in or let me go before you drown
Cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Baby tell me you're okay, that you're okay, cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Well there's a place in the hallway (in the hallway) where you left me (where you left me)
Where our lies will fall on top of our love
Baby tell you're okay (are you okay?) that you're okay (are you okay?)
Cause you're dying just to tell me
You said darling I'm not alone
That there will be a piece of you everywhere I go
I won't be fine here even sat still
I got to let you in or let you go before I drown
I got to let you in or let you go before I drown
Cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Baby tell me you're okay, that you're okay, cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Baby tell me you're okay, that you're okay, cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Well there's a place in the hallway (in the hallway) where you left me (where you left me)
Where our lies will fall on top of our love
Baby tell you're okay (are you okay?) that you're okay (are you okay?)
Cause you're dying just to tell me
You got to get away, you got to get away
You got to get away, you got to get away
We'd pretend that I wasn't lying when it's all a game
And now you are playing God
You're playing with me
Is it over now?
We'd pretend that I wasn't lying when it's all a game
And now you are playing God
You're playing with me
Is it over now?
Baby tell me you're okay, that you're okay, cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Baby tell me you're okay (are you okay?) that you're okay (are you okay?)
Cause you're dying just to tell me you're not
Baby tell me you're okay (are you okay?) that you're okay (are you okay?)
Cause you're dying just to tell me you're not

You're dying just to tell me you're not
You got to get away
The lyrics of Mallory Knox's song Getaway describe the push and pull of a failing or complicated relationship. The singer in the song seems to be pleading with the other person to either let them in or let them go, indicating that they are struggling to find a clear direction in the relationship. They assure their partner that they are not alone and that there is a piece of them everywhere they go, but they also need to hear that their partner is okay because they are "dying just to tell me [them] you're not." The mention of "our lies fall[ing] on top of our love" suggests that there may be issues of trust or dishonesty at play.
The chorus of the song repeats the plea for the other person to affirm that they are okay, with the repetition of "you're dying just to tell me you're not" emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The final lines of the song, "you got to get away, you got to get away," suggest that the relationship may be so deeply troubled that separation is the only viable option.
Overall, the lyrics of Getaway convey a sense of emotional turmoil and lack of clarity in a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The repeated plea for reassurance and the mention of lies and playing games suggest that trust and communication may be the root of the problems.
