The song "Robbers" is about two people in a toxic relationship who plunder each other's happiness and opportunities.
They know that they are addicted to it, but they can't make up their minds because they are intoxicated with dangerous happiness.

"Love can make two people who love each other feel that they are the center of the universe."

She had a face straight out a magazine
God only knows, but you'll never leave her
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
And when she gets his gun
He's begging, "Babe, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay"

"I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more lie
Will I know you?"

Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
And if you never eat, you'll never grow
You got a pretty kind of dirty face
And when she's leaving your home
She's begging you to stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay

"I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more lie
There'll be a riot 'cause I know you"

Well, now that you've got your gun
It's much harder now the police have come
And I'll shoot him if it's what you ask
But if you just take off your mask
You'd find out everything's gone wrong

Now everybody's dead
And they're driving past my old school
And he's got his gun
And he's got his suit on

She says, "Babe

You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
