personally, i think this song is about going for a drive, to get away and having a chance to think about things, and possibly reflect on problems in your life.
"beautiful calm driving
deep sea pearl diving
constantly unwinding"
These all seem to be examples of notions of wanting to focus on something else.
Obviously, she refers to the thoughts she is trying to escape when she talks about the person being a "nutter, stranger, another man, a danger"
Also,"emotional hiding" and "effortlessly shining" refers to the driving letting you get away, and think about your problems, but also continue to hide them away from everyone else. And "shining" describes the appeal this has.
It cannot be overlooked though that "driving" can be a metaphor for alot of other things, in which she could find 'beauty' or appeal for getting away.
