Inude’s “Split” begins with hesitant vocals as they drift through lyrics like “I came to know, and I came to…” with abrupt pauses. This adds to the character of the track by creating space between ordinary music and Inude’s sound. They explore loss through gutting lyricism, singing “maybe I can hold you more than I want to/ but everything keeps falling out of my arms,” and “I’m broken now/ and one side keeps running to you.” Both verses imaginatively communicate the agony of loss through figurative language. This leaves Inude feeling lost, noting “there’s no road to follow,” and asking “when did it go wrong?”.The way Inude constructs lyrics in conjunction with their singular sound entrances listeners and challenges stagnacy.
The instrumentals parallel the unpredictable breaks in sound with psychedelic sound effects that mature the track into a solid soundscape. Heartbeat synth maintains a pulse and eventually mutates into a hyper-pop beat that carries composed vocals. Fidgeting sound patterns promote a thrilling uncertainty that captivates listeners. Inude’s vocals guide these patterns through a busy, yet mellow track. The song fluctuates between haste and serenity to deliver the duality of splitting. The ending brings more activity with a build up to a fade out that works well with the track. The sound effects are complex, which makes Inude’s “Split” unique. They close with an exhilarating batch of stretched sounds and quick drumming to leave an impression.
