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.

My Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shout out the words that you write down, make believe they're never coming back again. I've heard these ones before; I've heard these ones before.
I write these words down to feel like I never wanted to feel like this, to feel like shit. kids don't you believe anything you read, we all need something to believe.
How's it feel to know I cry myself to sleep with these songs on repeat. where's your feelings now? where's your thoughts written out for all the world to see?
Shout out the words that you write down, make believe they're never coming back again. I've heard these ones before; I've heard these ones before.
How's it feel to know I cry myself to sleep with these songs on repeat. where's your feelings now? where's your thoughts written out for all the world to see?
And I can relate to love, death and heartbreak, you know I could, you know I could.
And I can relate to love, death and heartbreak, you know I could, you know I could.
And I can relate to love, death and heartbreak.
I can relate to love, death and heartbreak
The lyrics to my Getaway's song "Story of my Life" are a reflection on the human experience of love, loss, heartbreak, and the need for something to believe in. The singer invites the listener to join in and write down everything they have ever loved, lost, or let go. The words are raw and honest, and the singer acknowledges that they are not fake, but the story of their life.
The chorus reveals the pain that the singer carries with them, as they shout out the words that they have written down as if they are never coming back again. They acknowledge that they have heard these words before and that they, too, have written them down. The need to express themselves and find solace in their words is a universal theme that listeners can relate to.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that they write these words down to avoid feeling like crap. They encourage the younger generation to not believe everything they read, while acknowledging that we all need something to believe in. The bridge reveals the vulnerability of the singer as they share that they cry themselves to sleep with these songs on repeat. They challenge the listener to share their feelings and thoughts with the world, and not just keep them hidden.
