Fin del Cuento
Sentimiento Muerto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rastros en la amnesia
amanece 1492
bruma en mi memoria
cuales son los dioses ?
dónde está esa voz ?

Música de esferas
envuelve al árbol
en sortilegios de un quinto sol
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

Overall Meaning

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Overall, the song seems to be about the search for meaning in a world where old stories and beliefs have been replaced by new ones, and where the connection to something greater than oneself has been lost.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.
