This Night Lyrics
There are things I have done.
There’s a place I have gone.
There’s a beast and I let it run now it’s running my way.
There are things I regret that you can’t forgive you can’t forget.
There’s a gift that you sent you sent it my way.
So take this night and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I’m not forgiven but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night and lay me down on the street.
I know I’m not forgiven but I hope that I’ll be given some peace.
There’s a game that I played.
There are rules I had to break.
There’s mistakes that I made but I made them my way.
So take this night and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I’m not forgiven but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night and lay me down on the street.
I know I’m not forgiven but I hope that I’ll be given some peace.
Some peace, some peace.
There’s a place I have gone.
There’s a beast and I let it run now it’s running my way.
There are things I regret that you can’t forgive you can’t forget.
There’s a gift that you sent you sent it my way.
So take this night and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I’m not forgiven but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night and lay me down on the street.
I know I’m not forgiven but I hope that I’ll be given some peace.
There’s a game that I played.
There are rules I had to break.
There’s mistakes that I made but I made them my way.
So take this night and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I’m not forgiven but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night and lay me down on the street.
I know I’m not forgiven but I hope that I’ll be given some peace.
Some peace, some peace.

First I want to say that Black Lab rocks. I heard this song on the promo for The Shield and I immediately went and bought the CD "Passion Leaves a Trace." Every song on it is amazing. I highly recommend it.
Anyway, I think this song is about someone who is in recovery (after drug addiction) and is attempting to piece his life back together and see who he has left in his life that still gives a sh*t. It really hit me hard when I first heard it because I was hopelessly addicted to smack for 6 years. After finally managing to break free from it, it was very difficult to try and fix relationships and get back up on my feet.
I think it's about regret.
There's a dark side to us all, a "beast", and sometimes we forget to keep it in check.
What goes around, comes around, and now the "beast" "is running my way".
He regrets the bad things he has done, and it's eating away at him.
Some people say "How do you sleep at night?" as in, how could you peacefully sleep knowing the terrible things you've done?
Even though he's not forgiven, he still needs sleep and hopes for some peace.
His own regrets are preventing him from sleeping, and he just wants some peace of mind.
does anyone know where i can find this song?

This song is also in one of the episodes of House Md were he tackles with drugproblems. So I agree with the idea of drugaddication as a underlying meaning.
I think the song is about accepting he did something that hurt someone and and it lays heavy on his heart. But he needs to embrace what he did and accept that it changed things and move past it.
He knows what he did, and he knows he hurt someone. And he can't take it back.
It's not forgiveness he's asking for. He's asking to move on.
