Selves

There is a song - it is one of those profound ones that explores , I guess, existential concepts :

I really do not know how many - selves reside in my mind

One self paints and the other one slathers paint on herself yet a third one decimates the painting - are they all one ?

When I am drunk with life and the reins slip there is that one who grabs and holds and does not let go

• are they all one?

These numerous , multiple selves are they really one ?
