Lyric discussion by Monopatinista 

I think it's possible that the song was intended just to be a metaphor for being lonely and then realising that a very large number of people are as lonely as you are. But I agree with Wings223... it's a little more fun to imagine it and think about a man who is actually on a desert island.

And I'm still laughing at the comment about Sting's habit of saying 'yos'.
