On “Split,” dalloway captures the quiet violence of emotional self-preservation. It is a stripped-back yet emotionally charged track: The song deals with the psychological fallout at the end of a relationship, when the mind rewrites the story to survive. “Sometimes we have to turn someone into a villain just to walk away,” dalloway shares, unraveling the dissonance between love and the need to leave. “Split” explores the instinct to see things in black and white when nuance becomes too painful to hold.
