Desert Island Disk Lyrics

Some of the lyrics he uses - he speaks of being alive, open, awakened, released - are great descriptions of some sort of breakthrough after a long period of feeling static or dormant. It could be a new love has lifted him out of the shadow of a past one, or a creative idea has set him ablaze with inspiration after a stretch of writer's block.

As for the title, it could be a climate change reference, or the place where he experienced this. The latter could make sense because an island is a place associated with being alone, and he is experiencing this alone. Anyway those are my thoughts.
