Culpable

Edurne's song 'Culpable' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of regret and the longing for forgiveness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is grappling with the consequences of their actions, wishing they could turn back time to undo the hurt they've caused. The recurring theme of regret is palpable as the singer acknowledges their mistakes and the irreversible impact they've had on their relationship. The imagery of a once bright sky turning gray and the light fading into darkness symbolizes the profound change in the singer's life due to their actions.

The chorus, with its poignant questions, 'Y como diablos olvido alguien como tú' (And how the hell do I forget someone like you) and 'Cómo he perdido alguien como tú' (How have I lost someone like you), underscores the deep sense of loss and confusion. The singer is not only mourning the loss of their partner but also struggling to come to terms with their own culpability. The repeated admission of guilt, 'Soy culpable' (I am guilty), serves as a cathartic release, yet it also highlights the futility of their remorse, as the past cannot be changed.

Edurne's powerful vocals and emotive delivery amplify the song's themes of sorrow and repentance. The line 'Si yo pudiera lo cambiaría, el tiempo retrocedería' (If I could, I would change it, I would turn back time) encapsulates the universal desire to undo past mistakes. However, the realization that 'el dolor nunca va a borrarse' (the pain will never be erased) brings a sobering acceptance of reality. The metaphor of a missed train, 'Otro tren que pasa tarde, tarde, tarde' (Another train that passes late, late, late), further emphasizes the missed opportunities and the irreversible nature of time. 'Culpable' is a heartfelt exploration of human fallibility, the quest for redemption, and the heavy burden of regret.
