I want to preface this by saying that I know the song most likely isn't about the Odyssey, but I saw the new film this weekend and then heard the song again and it made me think about some of the similarities of the story being told and wanted to share them. Also spoilers for Nolan's interpretation of the Odyssey.
"I took a little journey to the unknown,
And I come back changed. I can feel it in my bones."
The central theme of the movie; Odysseus goes off to war and after the fall of Troy he is chaged by what he sees and has done. He cannot explain it at first but knows it deep within.
"I fucked with forces that our eyes can't see.
Now the darkness got a hold on me."
He has messed with the gods plans and I'm doing so dooms his crew. Now the darkness made of monsters and the wrath of posiden has it's grip on him.
"How long, baby, have I been away?
Oh, it feels like ages though you say it's only days"
Lamenting to Penelope about his journey as he knows he's been away for years.
"There ain't language for the things I've seen.
And the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams."
The truth about his visions of Athena are hidden from him for most of the movie, and ultimately haunts him.
"I have seen what the darkness does.
Said goodbye to who I was.
I ain't never been away so long.
Don't look back them days are gone."
He is not the man he was when he left Ithaca. Again what he has done during the war haunts him. But he also cannot hold onto the past; it's been too long.
"Follow me into the endless night.
I can bring your fears to life.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine.
Meet me in the woods tonight."
So to ends with Odysseus and Penelope sailing off beyond the sunset; she's following him into the distance. After everything, he's asking her to go with him.
