Dave Matthews Band – Out of My Hands Lyrics 15 years ago
I'd like to believe it's a song referring to someone trapped in one of the towers on 9-11.

"I can't just walk away
Be nice to walk away
But I don't feel safe
Get away, all the way up here"

Pretty self-explanatory. He wants to leave and be safe at home but can't find a way out.

"Oh it is... down from here
And down from here
Start to feel insane
Betrayed out here on my window ledge"

Going crazy because of all of the thoughts running through his mind. Family, wife, children, whether he'll live or die. Feeling betrayed that our governmental leaders allowed such an act to be carried out.

And my most convincing part to support my meaning.

"Our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all the believers stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire"

Our finest hour. Our response to this act of violence against the U.S. by declaring war. The "pig" is GWB and all the people who support him feel better for retaliating, in effect causing the same attacks. As the day lights up with fire. The explosion(s) and fire(s) of the impact.

that's what I think.
