Split the Difference
Dark, melancholic indie rock rooted in jangly, melodic guitar and world-weary emotional depth. Guitar lines are bright but mournful — clean, ringing, and restless, layered over a steady driving rhythm section with a timeless post-punk pulse. Production is warm but shadowed, spacious and atmospheric without losing intimacy. Male vocals are rich, expressive, and deeply melancholic — aching and confessional, carrying the weight of someone completely hollowed out by their own choices. Delivery is world-weary and emotionally raw, equal parts detached and devastated. No screaming. Lush reverb wraps everything in a haze of longing and regret. Melodies are mournful and hymn-like, built on ringing guitar, minor-key progressions, and subtle bass movement underneath. Lyrics explore addiction, fractured identity, and self-reckoning. Structure is fluid and emotionally restless — melancholic, nocturnal, and deeply human, where beauty and suffering are completely inseparable.

Lyrics
I’ve forgotten who I am,
and it fucking hurts to live like this
I took my two selves,
and let nostalgia split the difference
Yeah
I took my two selves,
and let nostalgia split the difference
I took my two selves,
and let nostalgia split the difference
Yeah
Look -
I’m an addict and I fucking hate myself
Sorry god, couldn’t pace myself
Now I’m burning out
This - is the worst version of myself
And it hurts to live like this
I understand how I became different
but I don’t know when
Took an inhale, and it’s a blur since then
Sorry god, I just had to let it out
Took a peak at the mirror
Tryna tell myself I’m better now (yeah)
Tryna tell myself I’m better now
I know that’s a lie, remember when I thought I might touch the sky, now I’m just high, (yeah) it’s not fun when it’s every night
Yeah
It’s not fun when it’s every night
Yeah
Look
I’m an addict and I’m stacking lies
I’m not me like half the time
I might seem like I’m alright but
Deep inside it’s all on fire
Yeah
So I just hit an inhale,
until the thought expires, but
I feel like,
reality’s never been so far
If you stack up enough lies,
you forget who you are
Yeah look
I’ve forgotten who I am,
and it fucking hurts to live like this
I took my two selves,
and let nostalgia split the difference (yeah)
I’ve forgotten who I am,
and it fucking hurts to live like this
I took my two selves,
and let nostalgia split the difference
Yeah
I took my two selves,
and let nostalgia split the difference
