Lyric discussion by Whalebone 

Cover art for Out of My Hands lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

Hearing this song and listening to the lyrics I feel like he is in a burning building that represents a situation he has to deal with. He's feeling betrayed, like noone has the ability to help him down and there is nothing HE can do about it... its out of his hands for now. "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" This only alludes to the burning building idea. The pig could represent the police or something of an authority figure who does their best to help him, the crowd only able to stand and watch supporting 'the pig'. He feels insane because he is alone on the ledge and not with the others safe on the ground, the ground representing happiness? He can't just walk away because it is a big situation that has to be dealt with. You can't just walk out of a burning building, you have to confront your fears and resolve the situation. So let me in is his cry for help. Anyone agree?
