[Verse 1]
Our situation…
Where to begin?
Human ambition
(Is at it again)
[Chorus]
Is that the goal
Spending the rest of eternity
Wandering in misery
(“Devouring your own soul.”)
[Bridge]
The scoop: (an endless loop)
Loop (loop) loop
Walk the walk
(Push that rock)
[Verse 2]
Make the same mistake
(Twice n’ thrice)
Our final hour
(Seeking power)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Outro]
Jumping through hoops
(and endless loops)
Loop (loop) loop
(Endless loop)
Loop (loop) loop
ABOUT THE SONG
Because of his chronic deceit and greed, Zeus eventually condemned Sisyphus to Tartarus. His punishment—rolling a massive boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down again for all eternity. This is often interpreted as a metaphor for the futility of human ambition and the hollow nature of seeking power for its own sake.
Sisyphus grandson, Bellerophon, fell from grace due to excessive pride and spent the rest of his life wandering in misery and “devouring his own soul.”
