Calypso was an island-dwelling Goddess in the ancient Greek legend of Odysseus, who seduced the hero into staying with her and becoming her lover for many years before he continued on his epic journey. Vega is singing as though she were Calypso- she repeats "I let him go" so often as a lament for her having allowed Odysseus to leave her alone once more.
