The band is entirely run by the members themselves. They created their own website (graphics, designs and everything else), designed every article of merchandize, promoted their hearts out (the band has been featured on www.emotionalpunk.com, www.absolutepunk.net, www.frequencyreviews.com, received a contract to be on the Drive-Thru Records/ Purevolume unsigned bands compilation and a feature article in the Daytona Beach News-Journal- to name a few), and is now starting to draw in larger crowds in their central Florida venues (House of Blues, The Social, Backbooth) one show at a time. Their live show has been said to be an excellent display of raw emotion, bursting with enthusiasm.
The band recorded a demo in the fall of 2004, which featured six songs; they have been demoing songs ever since and now have well over 25 songs recorded under their belt. Their plays on purevolume have hit
the 85,000 mark – an incredible feat for a band that has not been signed to any record label, nor received any professional promotion of any sort. The band plans to keep the demos coming, recording on
average six a month. They have also begun to record other local acts in their makeshift "bedroom studio" just to stay sharp.
My Getaway's rock machine has just gotten started. They plan to contine the barrage of demos and continue to wreak havoc on the Florida countryside, playing one show at a time.
Heart Attack
My Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she's my little heart attack.
Every single day I try to figure out,
how I can't let you down.
I told her I'm not sober
it could be a mistake.
But her shirt went off
and now it's too late.
I'm a sinner, you're a saint
I'm a liar and a fake.
But baby that's just me, you know.
I'm a sinner, you're a saint,
I'm a liar and a fake.
So just lay your head back
My little heart attack.
I'll give you everything (everything you'll never need)
Better bet that, my little heart attack,
keeps crying cuz she's catchin on to me.
So I lost my shot,
talk the talk and walk the walk.
Every single girl that I think about,
think I can't live without.
A reason, the seasons
are chaning again.
Baby believe me you need me
You'll see me again.
I'm the killer, you're the queen
She was comin' in between,
and that was more than you could take.
I'm sinner, you're the saint
I'm a liar and a fake...
So just lay your head back,
my little heart attack.
I'll give you everything (everything you'll never need)
Better bet that, my little heart attack.
Keeps crying cuz she's catchin on to me.
Watched my bird fly away today,
She's better off anyway. (she's better off anyway 2x)
And I spoke to God today.
She said she's better off anyway. (She's better off anyway. 2x)
I'm a sinner, you're a saint,
I'm a liar and a fake,
Well baby that's just me, you know.
I'm a sinner, you're a saint,
I'm a liar and a fake...
So just lay your head back,
My little heart attack.
I'll give you everything. (everything you'll never need)
Better bet that, my little heart attack.
Keeps crying cuz catchin on to me.
(So just lay your head back)
She's better off anyway
(So just lay your head back)
Everything you'll never need
(So just lay your head back)
She's better off anyway
(So just lay our head back)
She's catchin on to me
The song, "Heart Attack" by My Getaway, is about the singer's internal conflict, where he acknowledges that he is a sinner, a liar, and a fake, but he can't let go of the woman he loves. He is aware that his lover knows the truth about him, but he asks her to lay her head back and just enjoy the moment. The singer is torn between being true to himself and being the person his lover deserves. He feels that he is not good enough for her, but she is his little heart attack, and he cannot live without her.
In the first stanza, the singer declares that his lover has his back even though he is flawed, and he tries to come up with ways not to disappoint her. However, he admits to having made a mistake by not staying sober when they were together, but they ended up sleeping together anyway. In the second stanza, he acknowledges that he is a "sinner" and a "liar," but his lover is a "saint" and "queen." He also acknowledges that there was another woman in his life, but his lover was not ready to share him.
The bridge highlights a moment of clarity where the singer's ex-partner leaves him, and he feels that she is better off without him. He realizes that some things are beyond his control and that people will leave him even if he loves them deeply. The singer ends the song by repeating the chorus, calling his lover his little heart attack and admitting that she is catching on to him.
