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.

Resiste
Sentimiento Muerto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sentimientos dan otra vuelta de canela
preguntando si a esto lo llaman vivir
o si es otra forma de morir
Resiste, no te dejes maltratar
Resiste, esto tiene que acabar
el llanto termina en aguacero
parada en la acera, derrepente desesperas
porque todas las ventanas miran para afuera
Resiste, no te dejes maltratar
Resiste, esto tiene que acabar
Ay carajita alimenta tu paciencia
cuando sientas que te invade la nostalgia
intento de ayuda, esta noche empapada de magia
pero has hecho una barrera para que no puedan alcanzarte
Resiste, no te dejes maltratar
Resiste, en algun momento esto tiene que acabar
Resiste...
The lyrics of Sentimiento Muerto's song 'Resiste' describe a person standing in front of a building, possibly their own, and feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, questioning whether this is what it means to live or if it is simply another form of dying. The lyrics encourage the listener to resist being mistreated and to have patience with themselves during difficult times. The song acknowledges that pain is a part of life, but it also suggests that it is possible to overcome it through perseverance.
The first stanza describes the main character standing in front of a building, likely their own, and feeling confused and overwhelmed. The use of the phrase 'sentimientos dan otra vuelta de canela' (feelings take another turn of cinnamon) suggests that the person has gone through these emotions many times before, but they are still difficult to manage. The second stanza acknowledges the person's strength while also recognizing that it is hard to control one's emotions. The use of 'el llanto termina en aguacero' (tears end in a downpour) implies that the person feels like their emotions are out of control and overwhelming. The third stanza encourages the listener to be patient with themselves during hard times and to allow magic into their lives, even if they have created barriers to protect themselves.
Overall, the song 'Resiste' is about facing difficult emotions and persevering through them. The lyrics encourage listeners to resist being mistreated, to be patient with themselves, and to seek out moments of beauty and magic even in tough times.
