No soy vs. No estoy
What is the difference between "No estoy" and "No soy" in this song?
What is it trying to say? This is a really cool song! And is that a Chilean accent?

Good question. He seems to be very angry about something. Everything, in fact .
And she could do well by keeping off the drugs and makeup. As for the accent, the title 'rock Chileno' might be a teeny weeny clue. Edit: hey - that's cheating. You edited your post. |

About "ser" and "estar" it's just a play of words as creative and deep as all the non stop rhymes ended in "ión" . The lyrics are pretty much a land lot: build on it whatever you want. "No estoy: no tengo fe. No soy: no tengo dios" ¡Qué profundo! Como diría el kioskero de la esquina «¿Eso es una letra? ¡Andá a laburar al puerto, andá!»

No salgo de mi asombro ante una letra tan profunda.
I can't get over my astonishment at the depth of the lyrics. "ser" and "estar" in this song mean nothing. The accent is a fake accent. Nothing to do with Chile or any other place. You shouldn't try to learn grammar using this type of songs. Most of the time the words mean nothing. I'm sorry.. Don't take it personally.

Meaning: «Those are lyrics, really? Get a real job! They're hiring at the pierce.»

It's the equivalent of North American actors doing Shakespeare and trying too hard to imitate John Gielgud's accent. They'd do better by using a nice neutral ivy-leaguish accent, as Shakespeare's plays are no localisms and patrimonial for every English speaking community. The same way, smoothed local accents stripped from too local vocabulary are better than accents like the song's. About the song, the accent imitates some "crossbred" accent used by the Spanish speaking versions of broadcasting companies based on USA that appeal to all the angles of the youth market, like Disney Channel or MTV. So it's the accent used in the Hispanic counterparts of The Twilight Saga which means that instead of being pathetic and spectacular, they're just plain pathetic.

I think that's the Rock Latino style that started in the 80's, they all sounded about the same.

How does this accent work exactly? Do you have to put in the Peninsular Castillian c/z distincción? Wouldn't it be better to go for an Andalusian accent, because it's closer to American accents? How does the accent they have differ from a Mexican or Chilean accent?

I wouldn't say that's even close to Spanish accent.
