A pesar de su corta vida (en una época en la que el rock venezolano no contaba con la difusión de hoy día), de haber lanzado un solo disco y de la prematura muerte de su líder Cayayo Troconis, Dermis Tatú se ha convertido con los años en una banda de culto y su influencia musical es reclamada constantemente por los nuevos grupos de la escena del rock venezolano.
Dermis Tatú estuvo conformada por Cayayo Troconis (voz y guitarra), Héctor Castillo (bajo) y Sebastián Araujo (batería). En escena, contaron en numerosas ocasiones con la participación de Abraham Cangrejo García, de la Seguridad Nacional, como guitarra rítmica, coros y armónica. Otros músicos que colaboraron con la banda en vivo en diversas ocasiones fueron el argentino Pablo Sbarglia durante su estadía en Buenos Aires y el también ex-Sentimiento Muerto, "Pingüino" Echezuria.
La violó, la mató, la picó fue un disco de estudio de la banda de rock venezolana Dermis Tatú, lanzado en el año 1995. El disco fue grabado en los Estudios Móvil de Buenos Aires, Argentina en 1993.
Ausencia
Dermis Tatú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ausencia, si despiertas.
Ausencia, de tus redes.
Ausencia, si despiertas.
Ausencia, de tus redes.
Tanto tiempo enmundecia, creí que ni pestañabas. Tu boca gris cicatrizada, mas bien modificada. Hace años me dijiste: "Te acordaras cuando yo muera". Pues no hizo falta enterrarte, porque has muerto de pena.
Ausencia, si despiertas.
Ausencia, de tus redes.
Ausencia, si despiertas.
Ausencia, de tus redes.
The lyrics of Ausencia by Dermis Tatú speak about the final moments of a dying person, as the singer watches the life slowly fade away. The listener gets a sense of the person's last breaths as their pulse slows and they struggle to breathe. The first verse describes the physical signs of the person's approaching death, including their paleness and the labored breaths. The singer questions what thoughts might be going through the dying person's mind as their body begins to shut down. However, the person cannot communicate with the singer, who feels helpless in the situation.
The second verse offers more backstory, suggesting that the singer has known the dying person for a long time. They describe the person's face, which now appears "gray" and "scarred." The line "mas bien modificada" suggests that the person has gone through some sort of transformation, whether physical or emotional, that has left them changed. The singer then recalls a conversation they had with the person years ago, in which the person told them they would remember them when they die. The fact that the person died of "pena," or sadness, indicates that they may have been struggling emotionally before their death.
Overall, Ausencia is a melancholy song that captures the emotions surrounding death and the loss of a loved one. The imagistic lyrics paint a vivid picture of the dying person's final moments, while the refrain of "Ausencia" highlights the sense of absence and loss that the singer feels after their death.
