Meant Nothing

from XVI​.​I Mersault by THE TOVVER

/

lyrics

In The Stranger it's often said, and Mersault says, that it's death that makes life absurd but the idea that death leads to the absurd gives rise to another consideration too. That there's a sense in which we expect our lives to add up to something. As Ecclesiastes in the old testatement tells us, this is the vanity of vanities. It doesn't. What Sisyphus and Ecclesiastes both give us, is a picture of life where we have all of our aspirations and ambitions, our joys and our achievements but ultimately in the end... it amounts to nothing.
That's the absurd.
