Romance Is Dead Lyrics

Cover art for Romance Is Dead lyrics by Parkway Drive

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.
