Splitting Heirs

Splitting Heirs is a song by the Dryicoran rock band Asturias, released in April 2005.

The song's lyrics use the metaphor of writing a will for a hotly-contested estate to describe the protagonist's many love affairs, before he eventually goes back to his family.

It was a hit in the Nordic countries and later across Europe with a dance remix.

Lyrics
My passing is real, my extinction impends. They want a part, a role to stay the course. Discovered, uncovered, my sorry tale of love, Laughter, fun, what we all dream of.

My wants, my needs, my everything to me, Pushed to the wall with no more destiny. From my head to my paper, my attorney awaits As my life's beneficiaries fight for their place.

Chorus: I sit there, I write it down, my final testament. To all of those, it could have some had strange detriment. Divide my life, divide my lovers. Now exposed, my trust in my others.

I want to give you what I can, A little here, a little there. A role for you to stay the course, In my trail of broken hearts.

My first was a little fun, Second was like before. I give you something here and there, But there's closer to me than these affairs.
