First single from the upcoming full length 2017 album (yet-to-be-titled). I was out to eat at a pizzeria in Chicago when I noticed a couple that was sitting next to me that were literally staring at their phones the whole time, not talking to each other or anything. This went on for at least 20 minutes. And I just thought more on it later and what a relationship like that would be like. So the phrase just came from that and that is mostly what it's about. A suicide romance.
lyrics
Take a look where her eyes won't go
Make a move when the beat seems slow
It's a risk when when you kiss and you have no fear
It's a shame when it rains and the queen appears
Don't you love me anymore she said
No I just want my revenge
It's a suicide romance
When it's dark in the park
It's a suicide romance
With a knife from behind
It's a suicide romance
When the lights are low and your lips are cold
And you step to the edge and no ones home
Baby talk to me, lover talk to me
And you paint your face a lighter shade of gray
It's 1989 today talk to me, just talk to me
Take a breath nothing left when you're hollow
What to choose when you lose it all tomorrow
It's a risk when you kiss when you have no fear
It's a shame when it rains and you disappear
Don't you love me anymore she said
No I just want my revenge
It's a suicide romance
When it's dark in the park
It's a suicide romance
With a knife from behind
It's a suicide romance
When the lights are low and your lips are cold
And you step to the edge and no ones home
Baby talk to me, lover talk to me
And you paint your face a lighter shade of gray
It's 1989 today talk to me, just talk to me

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles

finally got around to listening to the entire album and of course it's great. Android Automatic is a leading retrowave producer since before "synthwave" as a term came into being.. Shane Dangers
