Any way, I had no idea who Sisyphus was, so I looked into it. Apparently he is a king in Greek Mythology who was sentinced to carry a boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down the hill. He was to repeat this act for eternity (it was his punishment). So a Sisyphus task is a meaningless, repetitive, and unrewarding task that serves no real purpose. What connections can be made with Sisyphus and the song? Its open to interpritation. I'd love to hear your thoughs about what this song means (not just how good this band is, we already know that's why we are looking up their lyrics!).
Once again I got most of this information from wikipedia and do not feel comfortable taking credit for these findings.
I believe it is about the meaning of life. As I once read about the singer (way back when...) who tried to commit suicide and all and I believe that the birth of his son, just proved that life might not be as meaningless as it might seem at first glance.

I may be totally off the track on this, though it is was I believe it might be about.
