Solo Soy Una Persona Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jimmyzongo 

Cover art for Solo Soy Una Persona lyrics by Mecano

This one is somewhat cryptic, not the classic storytelling Mecano song. Written in first person, the author keeps explaining what he/she is not: a machine, a fish, a car, a flower, a rat, a can, etc. I am only a person (solo soy una persona) repeats the chorus, neither male nor female. This last part suggests the author is struggling with sexual identity as well as existential anxiety. It is also a statement of free will, I choose to define myself rather than letting others define me.
