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 ↴
luego se venció la superstición
El hombre y su ambición
compitiendo con el creador
El hombre se hizo dios
¿ Cuál es más abusador ?
Algo se nos va a devolver
Naturaleza que se muere
de las ganas de venganza
No es el hombre el que hiere
sino su excesiva confianza
Algo se nos va a devolver
Algo se nos va a devolver
ooooooooh
ooooooooh
Algo se nos va a devolver
Algo se nos va a devolver
The lyrics of Sentimiento Muerto's song "La Estampida" are a commentary on the destructive effects of human ambition, specifically in relation to the natural world. The first stanza speaks to the idea that survival was once a matter of instinct, but as humans progressed, they overcame superstition and began to compete with the creator, essentially stepping into the role of gods. The question posed in these lines is which is more abusive: the creator or the human who sets himself up as a competitor?
The next stanza suggests that there will be consequences for this behavior. The lyrics speak of the dying nature seeking revenge against the excess of human confidence, and make the point that it is not necessarily man who is doing the harming, but rather his unwarranted faith in his own abilities. The repeated chorus of "algo se nos va a devolver" ("something will be returned to us") underscores the idea that there will be a reckoning for the harm humans have done.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a call for humanity to consider the long-term consequences of its actions and to be more mindful of the impact we have on the world around us.
