I will do my best to explain: Based on what we know, IR was the original person who had two "concious selfs" that were in her mind. If you know anything about MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), you know that the legal debates on what we you can consider a "person" is contested as these personalities can act completely separately and without the other one even knowing it. It is a really peculiar situation and can be extremely dangerous if one personality is violent.

The condition IR has, HER, is genetic and seems to include having a split personality among its symptoms (albeit one that existed since birth). So you could say, from a certain point of view, that she does indeed have two "hers", with the violent one that would become Irina (the "cat half" as it was described in the comment) willingly taking over at what appears to be her on volition.

The song is sung by the "normal" girl, IR, who is defending herself to the listener by explaining that it wasn't her but the other her, the conciousness that was born due to HER successfully developing in her (extremely rare to even develop it, let alone living after it manifests). So, yes, this is what we assume to be the "Elluka" half that is telling her side of the story.

The issue now is whether either of them or their recombined form, Ma, has the memories of their original form, IR; we also don't know the exact manner of their split, which may or may not have been intentional. On top of that, we don't understand how we get from here to Recollective Musicbox, forcing us to reinterpret the song as possibly being another "The Daughter of Evil" with only an outside perspective being told.

tl;dr: This song causes problems. Feel free to facedesk.:)  /facedesk
