I highly suggest going to a library and reading it. At first, it seems like nothing more than a story, but read it a few times.
Anyway, you can't really discuss this song without knowing a little more about Camus than he was a french writer and philosopher. Read his works, and then listen to the song.

There is just so much you can uncover in this book In that time if a French man killed an Arab he would most likely get away with it, but Meursault got put to death for killing an Arab. He pretty much got put to death for the way he lived his life It was not so much how he lived, but the fact he refused to make a show of feeling remorse.
He felt nothing, and admitted it. After which he was doomed.
Though really, he was doomed from the first page. Flag foreverdrone on December 04, Also, the way he behaved at his mother's funeral he smoked cigarettes and drank coffee! Mersault has become desensitized to life and, in an attempt to feel something anything , he shoots the Arab.
Does life have intrinsic value? I believe this is the question posed by Camus similar to the one Hamlet asks in his famous soliloquy.

Flag picturesofthesun on November 01, General Comment Well, although many people would attribute an existentialist nature to Camus' work, Camus himself disagreed. Quite what the difference between absurdism and existentialism is, is beyond me, but Camus made the distinction. I would say that Meursault wasn't aware of absurdism, but is merely a vessel through which Camus explores absurdism. That is, that we can come to one of two conclusions.
So we are then left with another two options. Suicide or pointless existance. This is explored in another of Camus' books "The Myth of Sisyphus" Le Mythe de Sisyphe , in which he discusses the meaningless existance. The Myth of Sisyphus tells the story of Sisyphus, a man condemned by the Gods to spend his lifetime pushing a rock up a hill only to let it roll down so that he can roll it back up the hill once more.
The track has a controversial history, since it has often been viewed as promoting violence against Arabs. It saw controversy again during the Persian Gulf War and following the September 11 attacks.
He can be paralleled in this instance to Sysiphus as he walks down the hill. The blade the Arab is holding is reflecting the sun onto his face and that's all it took. Views Read Edit View history.
