Few bands have had such an important influence on the Venezuelan rock music movement as Sentimiento Muerto; It was the first band with a group of hardcore followers (groupies), the first to have a coherent approach both musically and image and marketing. Typical disagreements and differences of style and direction that would take the band, coupled with the lack of support from their label, led to the split of the band.
Pablo Dagnino began a solo career in 1996 and early 2000 the group Pixel; Wincho went to study in the United States, on his return has participated as bassist in other groups (including Sur Carabela); Cayayo, Sebastián Araujo and Héctor Castillo formed the band Dermis Tatú, recording an album in Argentina. Cayayo Troconis, one of the most revered guitarists in Venezuela, died on November 17, 1999, shortly after turning 31, of respiratory failure.

Sentimiento Muerto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
amanece 1492
bruma en mi memoria
cuales son los dioses ?
dónde está esa voz ?
Música de esferas
envuelve al árbol
Sortilegios de un quinto sol
Certezas de palma
le hablan al alma
de una blanca ""bendición""
Pigmentos de fuego
descubren su aliento
esta tierra tiene voz
Fin del cuento
los espejos ya no son el Sol
Fin del cuento
los espejos ya no son el Sol
The first verse of Sentimiento Muerto's "Fin del Cuento" opens with the words "Rastros en la amnesia" which can be translated to 'traces in amnesia'. This suggests that the singer is trying to recollect something that has been lost in memory, and that the memories are fragmented, with no coherent patterns to follow. The next line "amanece 1492" means "dawns in 1492", which is an allusion to the year that Columbus discovered America. This line marks the beginning of the end of the narrative, as it suggests the loss of an old world and the start of a new one.
The rest of the song is a series of questions and statements that seem to be about the search for identity and the connection to a higher power. The line "dónde está esa voz?" (Where is that voice?) suggests that the singer is searching for guidance from a higher power. The line "Música de esferas envuelve al árbol" (Music of spheres envelops the tree) refers to an ancient philosophy that the movement of the celestial bodies produces a sort of music, and that this music can be heard in the air. The line "sortilegios de un quinto sol" (enchantments of a fifth sun) is another reference to the indigenous beliefs of Mesoamerican cultures, which believed in a series of gods or suns that governed different periods of time.
Overall, the song seems to be about the search for meaning in a world where old stories and beliefs have been replaced by new ones, and where the connection to something greater than oneself has been lost. The mention of Columbus and the "dawn of a new era" marks a turning point, where the old ways are fading away, and the search for identity becomes all the more important.
