Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis lyrics

Well charybdis was a monster that created a whirlpool. Obviously the whole song is linked to the odyssey(which contains a chapter of the same name) and much of the song is linked closley in its themes like triumphing over the odds . The whole point of scylla and charybdis was that you could cross the whrilpool but it meant almost certain death for everyone. On the other hand you could pass scylla but this would mean multiple members of your crew would be eaten but the rest would survive. Hence "torn between death and doom".

Scylla and charybdis are two sea monsters of greek mythology who were said to be situated on opposite sides of the strait of messina between sicily and calabria, in italy. They were said to be located close enough to each other that they posed an inescapable threat to passing sailors; avoiding charybdis meant passing too closely to scylla and vice versa.
