I think it's about Odysseus and Calypso's first meeting as interpreted by Young The Giant. Most English teachers say that Odysseus had always wanted to go back to Penelope's arms when he was on the island, but maybe that isn't the only interpretation. What is Odysseus fell in love with Calypso's persona...? Or was it an intense lust that is mistaken for "love" as described by this song?
The first stanza of the song was the back story when Odysseus was in the sea for days. Maybe it wasn't "five days", but close enough :p
"foreign groove"
"on your island"
"Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear"
this woman, whoever she really is, is unfamiliar to the persona. So I think the possibility of this woman being an old lover is lowered. On your island - that fits the Calypso alibi. "Cast" sounds magical doesn't it?
