Condenado

Sôber's song 'Condenado' delves deep into the themes of guilt, remorse, and the search for redemption. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of a tormented soul grappling with the consequences of their actions. The protagonist addresses their mother, expressing a sense of helplessness and inevitability in their destructive behavior. The line 'Madre, que podía hacer si en mi cabeza solo estaba él' suggests an obsession or a haunting presence that drives the protagonist's actions, leading to a high price they must pay for their uncontrolled anger.

The imagery of 'shadows' and 'white crosses' evokes a sense of death and mourning, symbolizing the weight of the protagonist's guilt. The repeated phrases 'muere otra vez' and 'sangra otra vez' emphasize the cyclical nature of their suffering, as they are condemned to relive their pain and remorse. The plea to God, 'Pide a dios que no lo vuelva a hacer,' highlights a desperate hope for change and forgiveness, yet the protagonist feels trapped in their 'muerta piel,' or dead skin, indicating a sense of living death or emotional numbness.

The song also touches on the thin line between friendship and enmity, as expressed in the verse 'Que tan sólo un día separa el rencor de la amistad.' This line underscores the fragility of human relationships and how quickly they can be shattered by anger and resentment. The protagonist's wish to turn back time, 'Si un minuto yo pudiera echarlo atrás,' reflects a deep regret and a longing for redemption. 'Condenado' is a powerful reflection on the human condition, exploring the themes of guilt, remorse, and the quest for forgiveness in a hauntingly beautiful manner.
