I think people are right to say that it's about Oli's struggle with depression and addiction, but it's also about crawling out of it.
"Don't let me drown" is the clearest line, since it's in the tense of a command/request. He's asking someone, anyone, to "save him from himself" and "drag him out alive".
"Cause you know that I can't do this on my own" is another good example of his plea for help: he's in need of someone to help him, save him, from the things that have been holding him back and destroying him, and he's tried to do it all himself before -- it's just never worked out, and now he's asking, begging, for help.
If you're going through a tough time, just know that there is always someone you can talk to. They may not be a savior, but they can be a rock that grounds you. In the end, you're the master of your own fate, but that in no way means you should control it all on your own.
