Romance Is Dead

the song makes fun of the whole "emo" trend;

its like, you pretend to be affected for attention, go "suicidal" because of some failed one week relationship because you think its cool to be "emo".

this is shown in the lyrics "were all for show" (attention seeking "suicide" attempts) +"JUST LIKE YOU" = your all for show, YOUR FAKE "crocodile tears" (insincere; fake show of sadness)

then there "cry me a fucking river, bitch" + "fools never move on" etc which is basically saying your pathetic, get over yourself

and then: "you wouldn't know love, if it crushed your fucking chest" is just saying that you probably dont know the first thing about love because whatever your sad about is far from it.

and last "will you bleed for me when suicide... it's so yesterday" is pretty much saying; will you still cut your wrist and cry when its not interesting anymore?

thats what i get from it. i dont think it has anything to do with a relationship. but it depends how you interpret it.

LOOK STRAIGHT OUT OF AN INTERVIEW Broken hearted lyrics?

No, no, it’s not broken hearted lyrics… that’s the thing! The whole song is really misinterpreted. The song is pretty much about dancing and jumping on the bandwagon while writing songs about committing suicide, cutting your wrist and setting up this whole fantastic image where being depressed and committing suicide is a good thing, like, is a trendy thing to do. And there are so many people, so many bands that do that just to grab fans and stuff. That’s why I wrote that song. And the thing is that a lot of these bands go out every night and sing this stuff and they have no idea what it is like to be heartbroken, except they betray this image. I don’t know, I was just pissed of I guess. I think I just said it one time in a jam and it kind of fitted, so… we stuck with it. And Justin Timberlake has a song called “Cry Me A River” hahaha.

I really hope any members of Parkway Drive read what you people interpret their music as. It's fucken ridiculous. While songs are made to be interpreted differently by different individuals, you are mostly all saying the same stupid shit. It's about a girl, it's about a boy, it's about a break up.

Generation Y, please shut the fuck up and stop tainting a iconic Australian band with your idiocy.

If you had half a brain you would try and look behind the lyrics as structured and try to apply them to something that is more substantial than over emotionalism in blind love, heart ache and the weak exit of suicide by even weaker people. The band have even admitted that this song gets interpreted the wrong way. In fact, you people are pretty much giving this song the same ideology to what the song is speaking out against...

Read past what you want something to be and look at it for what it is. You want it to be about a guy or girl who have been dumped because then you can relate to it more and try and convince yourself that this song speaks to you because of that. Get over your selfish reasons for enjoying somebody else's art.

Fuckheads

This song is parkway's best... I Think its just saying how people who dont get over broken hearts are pathetic "So cry me a fucking river, bitch" best line ever

i think it's about a guy who fakes being emo for attention. and his girlfriend leaves him. and he has no-one. and maybe now he'll actually become emo.. or maybe not.

basically saying you're a fake. so prove to me that you're doing all that you say you are.

(don't post it on his page, mitch. fight the force.)

i think it was a girl that was using a guy then acting all emotional and saying she was depressed and cutting herself for attention... and she really hurt the guy then decides she wants him back

but he has realised what she is actually like and that she onli wanted him to look cool shown in the last few likes she wont do anything unless its trendy like she will cut for attention but suicide isnt cool

"i think this song talks about a guy who breaks up with a chick who turns emo and starts slashing her wrists"

your a fucking weirdo, obsidian0231.

thats your take on it, is it? nice one.

try again?

This is what the lads said about romance "songs about heartache are all well and good, but taking advantage of teenage insecurities with songs regarding self harm is shit. it doesn't help anything. the rate of youth suicide in Australia is one of the largest in the world. think about it. " its about fucking scene bands playing to the weakness of kids and how winston hate the shit out of them for that... fucking posers are cunts who do that

thank god for samhinton, xTEAMHATEx and chelsea-sugar...cause the rest of you are idiots.

Guys you don't have be emo to cut yourself...

One of the BEST PARKWAY SONGS!!!!
