Sorta. I took more as a sometimes you have a bad day or get knocked down but you gotta try again. In sissyphus the task is always impossible. For the spider the spout is only impossible when it rains.

    The spout needs to win every time. The spider only needs to win once.

    I get knocked down, but I get up again
    You are never gonna keep me down
    I get knocked down, but I get up again
    You are never gonna keep me down
    I get knocked down, but I get up again
    You are never gonna keep me down
    I get knocked down, but I get up again
    You are never gonna keep me down
