Lyrically, "Split Screen" dives into themes of modern disconnect and the struggle to find meaning in the whirlwind of life. Phrases like "modern innovation" and "desire when needed" paint a picture of a world where technology and constant striving create a sense of isolation. The imagery is striking: "the weight of the feather," "color run from your eyes", and the haunting line "pack up your head case." The song reaches its climax with the question: "Is this a middle-of-a-life thought? A revelation on a split screen?"
