Cover art for Poor You lyrics by Daniel Johnston

"Every morning he got up, dreading each moment he had to be awake." "There wasn't anywhere he wouldn't go to avoid having to see anyone" Daniel Johnston is not unknown to be a manic depressive, so it's almost obvious that it's about daniels depression. not wanting to get out of bed or socialize. not caring about anyone or anything. But he writes about having a saviour. The first thing that comes to mind is drugs or alcohol. He feels pity of him self and therefor chooses escapism.
