Verse 1
Your guilt doesn't fit me anymore
Your fear doesn't work on me anymore
I finally dropped that concept
I live in paradise
There's no use telling me I'm wrong
I don't see what you see
And nothing
Would make me give up being this free
So many times I knelt
Thinking
'Why can't I be like you?'
But I understand that's not me
So many times I begged to be normal
But that'd be so banal
I don't wanna fit in
Verse 2
That fear you feel
I don't feel
Verse 2
Now I really know what it is
Free will
Verse 2
Doing good because I want to
Since I'm really going
To hell
There's no use telling me I'm wrong
I don't see what you see
And nothing
Would make me give up being this free
So many times I knelt
Thinking
'Why can't I be like you?'
But I understand that's not me
So many times I begged to be normal
But that'd be so banal
I don't wanna fit in
So many times I knelt
Thinking
'Why can't I be like you?'
But I understand that's not me
So many times I begged to be normal
But that'd be so banal
I don't wanna fit in

SONG MEANING

“Culpa” is Bea Duarte’s bold declaration of independence. In this synth-kissed pop track, the Brazilian singer shakes off the heavy coat of culpa (guilt) and fear that others try to hang on her shoulders. She proudly sings that those old judgments “não encaixa mais em mim” – they simply do not fit anymore. Instead of bending to social rules, Bea claims her own slice of paradise, insisting that even the threat of going “pro inferno” cannot scare her back into line.

The chorus reveals how hard-won this freedom is: she once knelt, begging to be “normal,” wondering why she could not be like everyone else. Now she sees that would be “tão banal.” By embracing free will and doing good because she wants to, Bea turns the song into an anthem for anyone tired of squeezing into someone else’s mold. “Culpa” invites listeners to ditch second-hand shame, trust their own path, and celebrate the thrilling rush of being unapologetically themselves.
