I see this song as a retelling of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Many of the images, symbols, and metaphors are the same. In "The Rime," the old man was destined to tell his tale to everyone he met until his dying day. In "The Islander," the old man is returning to the sea to die and his story is now being told by another.
