Sisyphus, Titian 1548-9

The melody and lyrics of background music from Korean CF was so attractive that I searched for whose song.


Andrew Bird - Sisyphus

These days, many friends in 50s often say, with sigh, that they feel like running away from here. There's nowhere to run, though. They lament that all dreams of young days have faded and now they have to take care of their family and seem to been reduced to a machine that makes money without a vision. They have no choice but to closing eyes and sticking to work not to be unemployed soon.

That's the way it goes. like the situation of Sisyphus,

is about being addicted to your own suffering and the moral consequences of letting the rock roll

Sisyphus peered into the mist
A stone’s throw from the precipice, paused
 
It’s got nothing to do with fate
And everything to do with you

How Does Andrew Bird Imagine Sisyphus?
