""I am an insect" does not refer to Kafka - anyone who's read 'The Metamorphosis' will recall that the main character was displeased to be an insect."
The song lyrics do NOT indicate a man who "pleased" to be an insect.

"My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact"
