@splayfee, I was thinking it was "knife" instead of "night". About the whole connection to Kurt Cobain's death and the lawyer, I don't really think it is about that really. If you try hard enough you can make any song sound like it's about anything. I think this song is about a relationship as are so many Foo Fighter songs. It's a fictional story about a man who apparently is about to murder his wife. There are a few clues like the first two lines "Now get away, get away, get away from me." "Youth ain't gonna change the way you die." This line is another clue. It isn't until the line I mentioned earlier that it is revealed that it is about murder. I think when he says it isn't an ordinary knife he means it is not being used for traditional purposes with the part about his wife not being ordinary being a dig on her. Of course, this is my interpretation and it would be sick as hell if it is Dave's interpretation as well.

@CJuneau1 I took that part of the knife not being ordinary being the gun used to kill Kurt not being ordinary, but it is just my interpretation.
