This song always struck a deep chord with me. I can relate with having those dark feelings, even when your life is good and you know it, creep in and affecting you. It sometimes feels like you can't fight it; it always comes back eventually.
I can also relate to the power of having a beer with a friend and talking about the way life is when fighting those thoughts. Sometimes it is the only thing that can give you any real perspective when they are creeping in. I've had some dark times, and my best friend has been there, and I am for him when he needs it too. I think Oldham was talking about having that friend who can "save" you from the darkness, by just being there and listening to your thoughts.
