[Verse 1]
Does your rock roll
(Is it all downhill)
Unfortunate goal
(Not to stop ’till the top)
[Bridge]
An eternity
Spent mistaking motion
… for momentum
[Chorus]
Freewill?
It was all uphill
(The downhill part came faster every time)
Faster and faster
(Toward disaster)
Humanity’s crime (I’mmm….)
[Verse 2]
Does your rock roll
(Despite negativity for gravity)
This is no rock n’ roll stroll
(Repet, repet, repetitivity)
[Bridge]
… stupidity
An eternity
Spent mistaking motion
… for momentum
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Is it still
(All up hill)
Why I ask
(The futile task)
Lost your freewill?
ABOUT THE SONG / MORAL OF THE STORY
Because of his chronic deceit and bottomless greed, Sisyphus was condemned for all eternity to roll a massive boulder up a hill—only to watch it thunder back down again. Over and over. It was all uphill.
The tragedy wasn’t just the rock. It was the promise. Each ascent began with a speech about how this time would be different, how the incline was actually leveling off, how the summit had never looked more attainable. The boulder was rebranded as “tremendous.” The slope was declared “the greatest hill in history.” And gravity, of course, was dismissed as a hoax.
But physics is stubborn. So is truth. The rock kept rolling back.
In The End, the punishment wasn’t the labor. It was the repetition—the endless cycle of hype, strain, collapse, and denial. A masterclass in exertion without progress. An eternity spent mistaking motion for momentum.
It was all uphill. And the downhill part came faster every time.
