Split(s) or The Split may refer to:
In mathematics, and more specifically in homological algebra, the splitting lemma states that in any abelian category, the following statements for a short exact sequence are equivalent.
Given a short exact sequence with maps q and r:
one writes the additional arrows t and u for maps that may not exist:
Then the following statements are equivalent:
The short exact sequence is called split if any of the above statements hold.
(The word "map" refers to morphisms in the abelian category we are working in, not mappings between sets.)
It allows one to refine the first isomorphism theorem:
It is a categorical generalization of the rank–nullity theorem (in the form ) in linear algebra.
First, to show that (3) implies both (1) and (2), we assume (3) and take as t the natural projection of the direct sum onto A, and take as u the natural injection of C into the direct sum.
Split is the second album by British shoegazing act Lush, released on 4AD on June 13, 1994 in the UK and a day later in the US. Two singles were released from the album: "Desire Lines" and "Hypocrite," both released on May 30, 1994. Split was reissued by 4AD on CD in July 2001.
Select gave the album a negative review of two out of five. The review described the album as "mid-paced stuff, fitting between melancholy and listlessness." "There's nothing wrong with a dose of heavyweight introspection per se. But a pretty deft touch is needed to translate it movingly to the recording studio."
Andy Kellman, writing for Allmusic, was far more positive, giving the album 4.5 stars out of five: "Split touches on most forms of emotional turbulence. A legitimizing stunner, the record prevented the band from being lost amidst the bunker of form-over-function dream pop bands. Split shattered every negative aspect of those failed acts with flying colors. A fantastic record within any realm."
Spent his youth under soviet oppression
Trauma left him without an erection
Impotence led to murderous rage
A vicious monster from the Ukraine
Swift and sudden orgasm
From stabbing women and killing children
A mistake of nature, a mad fucking beast
Murder was a sexual feast
A mistake of nature, a mad beast
He rips her nipples off with his teeth
So beautiful and elastic
Carves and scrapes out her uterus
He overcomes his impotence
The sight of the mutilation
Involuntary ejaculation
Stuffs his cum into the womb
Devours it, it’s his favorite food
Castrate the boys and cut out their tongues
Thrust a knife into their lungs
Gag the girls with leaves and sticks
Fucks with a knife instead of his dick
Uses a knife to gouge out their eyes
No imprints will be left behind
53 bodies piled up real high
3 more were claimed but he was never tried
The courts sentenced him to his death
Shot Russian style in the back of the head
