I think this song is a statement about love in general. Whether it be romantic with another person, a parent, a brother or sister, a friend, or whatever. It's about the turbulent relationship that love is. One minute you have a great relationship with that person, but then you are "cast away" by an action the person does out of love.
Another take is that this person is traveling, trying to find his or her place in the world. The "into your arms" could signify that they think they've found somewhere where they culd "lay down there bones" but something happens to cast them away from the place (whether by the environment or their own intuition.
The "Strange Education" symbolizes love or finding ones self.
