Yo Soy Un Animal

Fito & Fitipaldis' song 'Yo Soy Un Animal' delves into the chaotic and unrestrained lifestyle of someone who lives life on the edge. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who once lived without limits, constantly moving at a breakneck pace and indulging in excess. The repeated phrase 'Yo era un animal' (I was an animal) underscores the primal, almost instinctual way the narrator lived, driven by an insatiable need for more—more experiences, more sensations, more life. This lifestyle is characterized by sleepless nights and dreamless days, suggesting a lack of deeper fulfillment or purpose during that period.

The song also touches on themes of independence and self-reliance. The narrator mentions having no gods or religion, relying solely on their own conscience as a guide. This highlights a sense of personal freedom and the rejection of external control or societal norms. The line 'Mi único destino es mi dirección' (My only destiny is my direction) emphasizes the idea of forging one's own path, making choices based on personal desires and instincts rather than predetermined fate or external expectations.

Despite the wild and uncontrolled nature of the narrator's past, there is no regret. The repeated assertion 'No me arrepiento de probar' (I don't regret trying) suggests a sense of acceptance and even pride in having lived life to the fullest, regardless of the consequences. The song ultimately portrays a journey of self-discovery and the embrace of one's true nature, even if that nature is wild and untamed. The final lines, 'Soy un animal no puedo parar, no quiero parar' (I am an animal, I can't stop, I don't want to stop), affirm a continued commitment to living authentically and unapologetically, embracing the chaos and intensity of life as an integral part of one's identity.
