Not much if you're stuck there! It's a simile meaning your basically stuck in a situation without a(n)(easy) way out or solution, or that multiple solutions will not work. From Homer's Epic The Odyssey, the difference between scylla and charybdis. ie either getting crushed by falling rock or sucked into a whirlpool.

"But once your crew has rowed you past the Sirens a choice of routes is yours. I cannot advise you which to take, or lead you through it all -- you must decide for yourself..."

It is therefor a Metaphor for being caught between two equally difficult choices.
