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.
Take It Down
My Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again. with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again.
My teeth clenched as I hit the bottom, I'm back again just me verses this bottle and I'm getting nowhere fast, I'm getting nowhere fast.
With my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again. with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again.
I'll take it down.
With my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again. with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again.
Never let time run out
The lyrics to My Getaway's song Take It Down describe the struggles of addiction and the desire to make things right again. The singer is admitting that he has a problem and is taking one last drink, hoping that it will be enough to numb his pain and make him feel okay again. He asks his partner to lay their head on his chest, acknowledging that he may be short of breath, which could be a sign of a health issue related to alcohol abuse. However, he reassures them that it will all be over soon, implying that he is trying to quit drinking.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "with my eyes shut tight wishing tonight would rewind itself so I can make things right again." This lyric highlights the regret and longing that the singer feels, wanting to undo the mistakes that he has made in the past. He hits "the bottom" and finds himself back again, facing the same struggle with the bottle that he thought he had overcome. The last line of the song, "Never let time run out," may serve as a warning against wasting time on addiction and emphasizing the importance of seeking help before it is too late.

[Verse 1: Angel Taylor]
Doesn't take much to feel the rush
With nothing but your eyes on me
How 'bout we do just like we do
Two crazy fools just breaking free
[Pre-Chorus: Angel Taylor]
No, it don't matter what we've been told
I can see the skies are gold
Yeah, it's just you and me and open road, let's go
[Chorus: Angel Taylor]
I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride
You're my getaway, you're my getaway
Tonight, I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway tonight
You're my getaway
I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride

Tonight, I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway tonight
