I see the straight-forward meaning of getting a friend out of a "funk," whatever that "funk" may be.
That being said, I'd like to playfully suggest that the song is about the singer getting himself out of a funk.
"Storm, cast me out
So I can feel it in another way"
"Storm, wind me out
So I can feel it in another way
They won't talk about
Worn masochist's sigh
A distant figure in a photograph
Another eye"
These parts could mean he wants to dissociate from himself so he can think about his from an perspective not so attached.
"Warm passenger's high
If I could feel it for another day
It might run me dry"
When he dissociates from himself, he sees how great and comforting his "funk" is, but knows it is running him dry. At this point he's talking about himself from the 3rd and then 1st person even though its all viewed from the 3rd person.
The other parts of the son are all talking to himself from his new perspective as he's able to help him get better.
