Split
Mr. Sam featuring Kristy Hawkshaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A glass of plain water for me
Banana split for my baby
A glass of plain water for me
Dispenser Man, if you please
Serve my chick a mess of calories
Banana split for my baby
A glass of plain water for me
Flip back the lid
Scoop everything in sight
Make it a rainbow of red, brown and white
Chocolate chip and everything that's nice
Tutti frutti once and spumoni twice
Banana split for my baby
And a glass of plain water for me
Spray the whipped cream for at least an hour
Pile it as high as the Eiffel Tower
Load it with nuts, about sixteen tons
Top it with a pizza just for fun
Banana split for my baby
And a glass of plain water for me
Banana split for my baby
A glass of plain water for me
Banana split for my baby
A glass of plain water for me
Stack her up with crazy goo
That's the stuff she likes to wade right through
Banana split for my baby
A glass of plain water for me
Now add the cherries
The kind she loves to munch
Skip one banana
Use the whole darn bunch
Drown it with fudge
Six or seven cans
Give her two spoons
She'll eat it with both hands
Banana split for my baby
And a glass of plain water for me
Separate checks, it must be
Charge the split to her
The water to me
Oh the banana split's for my baby
And the glass of plain water's for me
Ain't got no money
The glass of plain water's for me
The song "Split in Two" by Mr. Sam featuring Kristy Hawkshaw is a lyrical reminder of the classic and indulgent treat of a banana split. The song opens with the singer, a loving partner, ordering a banana split for their significant other while requesting a plain glass of water for themselves. This simple request is significant in that it reinforces the idea of treating a loved one to something special, while being content with what one already has.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delightfully describe the steps in preparing a perfect banana split. The Dispenser Man is called forth to whip up this mess of calories, and no detail is left out, from flipping the lid and scooping everything in sight, to creating a rainbow of red, brown, and white with chocolate chips, tutti frutti, and spumoni.
The climax of the song comes when the song's protagonist instructs the Dispenser Man to pile on whipped cream as high as the Eiffel Tower, load the split with nuts, and top the entire concoction with a pizza just for fun. The singer instructs the Dispenser Man to indulge their partner's sweet tooth to the fullest with a split stacked with "crazy goo" that she likes to plunge right into. As the song ends, there is a playful allusion to the notion of separate checks, with the banana split billed for the partner and the plain water consumed by the singer charged to them.

As sunlight splits through naked trees,
Nothing that feels invisible...Exists...
You may be leaving me,
But I won't let you go my soul.
It's all around me....
The season of red, green and gold.
The cold mind steals your memories,
Fresh out of my mind.
The sky, will fix the broken emotion in my eyes...
I find support in the earth...
I find support anywhere.
I find support in the floods,
I find support in the love...
And I will end you bravely,
The space you left in me...
The space you left in me...
