lyrics

Life is the meaning of life. It's not anything outside of life and it's not even necessarily any particular content of life; or way of life. It's just life itself.
About the same time that Camus wrote The Stranger, he wrote a philosophical essay. (Which one might take as a theory that accompanies The Stranger, and perhaps explains it.) It's called The Myth Of Sisyphus.
Just to remind you, Sisyphus was a character in Greek mythology who was condemned by the Gods to a truly pointless task. He had to roll a rock up a mountain... and of course when he got to the top, it would roll down in it's own weight and he would have to do it again, and again, and again, and again. This is a kind of symbol of what Camus refers to, famously, as the absurd. He points out in his re-telling of the story of Sisyphus that one can't think of anything more absurd than a life time filled with futile labor.
