amateur philosophers - is there a self? lyrics

david hume here gonna teach y’all a lesson
the ideas that you know, come from impressions
impressions are temporary always ever changing
do you know what this means? it’s really quite amazing
there is no self. i get it, it’s kinda crazy
but remember how impressions change on the daily
the self is permanent it’s always everlasting
impressions however, sends the self packing
impressions are everything, and never are the same
that means there can’t be a self which really is a shame
try look for your “self”, and all you’ll find is impressions
i just tell you now, there are no connections
the person that you are, changes over time
i am a different person now compared to my prime
but one things hasn’t changed throughout this lifetime
your boi david hume, always spits dope rhymes

listen up. don’t get lost in the sauce
kant’s got seven points to get across
first, be conscious and aware
of how you feel and what you wear
2. look past the main notion
look at yourself and recognize the motion
3. you think you know who you are
but you only see how you look from afar
4. there’s a lot of ways to refer to yourself
but you’re only mentioning your health and wealth
5. no matter what’s going in your head
you call yourself “i,” it’s what you said
6. the idea of self is incoherent
cuz your appearance gets flagged for interference
7. as a person, we are full of plurality
we kant-struct the self, we make our personality

its your boy john locke back here again
to explain why you’re the same you back now and then
a person is a being, able to reason and think
consciousness and the self, work in sync
a person is aware when they think and feel
and remembers the pain of bruising their heel
this memory of one being conscious
makes my argument right, if i’m being honest
one’s ident-ty does not depend on their physical body
as it’s personal memories that separate holly from bonnie
you can put your conscious into another substance
and that’s the same you that’s always been in existence
to tell me that they aren’t the same
makes your argument really lame
because one is not defined by their body and name
to keep believing so is really quite a shame

no john locke you’re looking at it all wrong
why does it seem like this in every d-mn song?
my name is sigmund freud and i’m about to show you up
to say the self is consciousness is just not enough
trust me and just listen to my synopsis
the self is made by the conscious and unconscious
the former is the one you already mentioned before
the latter is the one i’m gonna mention much more
the unconscious can’t be observed directly
but it is through certain things we can see it immensely
have you ever said something that you really didn’t mean?
that’s the unconscious seeping through the seams
what about a dream you had again and again
it’s the unconscious taking effect
out of both of us my argument is greater
and now i can conclude that the self is multi-layered
