With "Envy", taken from the EP "Seven Deadly Sins", "Split Vision" takes us into the depths of Swedish synth pop art. The song presents itself as an almost balladic journey through dark, emotional landscapes, marked by a melancholy that is hard to shake off. The drawn-out, dragging sounds, enriched with various synth sounds and effects from the 90s, lend the track a nostalgic note that fans of this era will undoubtedly appreciate.
Particularly noteworthy are the musical breaks, which bring back memories of an unnamed but still present song by "De/Vision". These moments break up the heaviness and add a dynamic component that gives "Envy" its unique texture. The vocals, while a little rough for my personal taste, still fit seamlessly into the overall picture. Their roughness contributes to the honest and unembellished portrayal of the melancholy atmosphere without disturbing the harmonic balance of the song.

Lyrics of "Split Vision – Envy"
Wake up at night
it´s still a fight
what I’ve got is not enough
to feel content is kind of tough
Want all you have got
all your cars and your pretty yacht
I deserve to get
there are rules to be set
The beast of envy
keeps killing me
All I can have
is what I see
This can’t be right
I have no might
All you have is dirty luck
I should have gone and now I’m stuck
Want all you have got
all your cars and your pretty yacht
I deserve to get
there are rules to be set
The beast of envy
keeps killing me
All I can have
is what I see
I deserve to get
All I can have
is what I see….
All I can have
is what I see
Want all you have got
all your cars and your pretty yacht
I deserve to get
there are rules to be set
The beast of envy
keeps killing me
All I can have
is what I see
The beast of envy
keeps killing me
All I can have
is what I see
