the "she" fran healy is singing about seems to describe me. just like the person being referred to in the song "driftwood", "she" is heading to a path of self-destruction while being blissfully aware of her fate - making her fate even more so ironic. i think her fate can be interpreted in many ways: she left her previous happier (if not completely fulfilling) life for something demeaning and useless, pushed aside the person who loved her and moved away because she only thought of herself, etc. it may also be a general notation towards how hard to read and unpredictable women can be (or at least women he's known and had a relationship with).
