El Diablo by Alejandra Guzman uses this as a lyric. I always thought it means, "I am an A-hole." Given the name Diablo it may be true. This is a real question y yo quiero saber.

I found the lyrics online. I am not familiar with this song. You meant "Estoy a punto de" (I'm about to):
Cuando el sol se esconde
Y yo no puedo dormir
Algo raro despierta
Y se mueve dentro de mí
Estoy a punto de estallar --> I am about to explode....

Thanks this is what they meant in the song. I think I found the slang for punto. It is "pussy". http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Punto - aprender100, Sep 22, 2012

Estar + a + punto + de + infinative of action verb is a well known paraphrase meaning to or was about to do something, e.g. Estaba a punto de salir cuando sonó el teléfono. I was about to leave whne the telephone rang.
