Het lied is vernoemd naar een vrouw die haar haar eigenhandig blondeerde. Het Engelse woord voor 'blonderen' is 'to dye', wat hetzelfde klinkt als 'to die' (wat 'sterven' betekent). Eigenhandig sterven zou je het benemen van je eigen leven kunnen noemen, oftewel 'zelfmoord', en het Engelse woord daarvoor is 'suicide'. Deze uitleg zou de titel van het lied kunnen verklaren.

Feit is dat de lach van Kylie Minogue is gesampeld in dit lied. Zij was destijds de vriendin van Michael Hutchence, de zanger van de band, en voor een rol in de film The Delinquents uit 1989 heeft zij haar haar platinablond moeten verven.

Songtekst

Don't you know what you're doing
You've got a death wish

Suicide blonde [Repeat: x4]

Suicide blonde was the color of her hair
Like a cheap distraction for a new affair
She knew it would finish before it began
Wow baby I think you lost the plan

You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde

She stripped to the beat but her clothes stay on
White light everywhere but you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad sad moment
Glory to you
Glory to you
Take me there
Take me there

Got some revelation
Put into your hands
Save you from your misery like rain across the land
Don't you see the color of deception
Turning your world around again

That's the story.
