* Happens twice in ''[[Razia's Shadow: A Musical]]'' by Forgive Durden. First, when {{spoiler|Ahrima goes into the darkness and Barayas (the Spider) convinces him that the only way to make people respect him is to make them fear him. He destorys the lamps, and is banished. In Toba the Tura, he laments "Oh, [[My God, What Have I Done?|what have I done]]?"}}. Second, {{spoiler|Pallis. After accidentally stabbing his brother, Adakias, he begs and pleads for him to fight and stay alive. Though he was aware of his evil intentions, he didn't mean to take things so far}}.
* The second half of [[David Bowie]]'s "Cygnet Committee," wherein the second narrator first gleefully describes the violence he and his allies have turned to, but slowly sees it to be antithetical to his ideals.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyuJI73Uxns "The Truth beneath the Rose"] by [[Within Temptation]] seems to be about this.
{{quote|''I believed it would justify the means
''It had a hold over me
''Blinded to see
''The cruelty of the beast
''Here is the darkest side of me
''(Forgive me my sins)
''The veil of my dreams
''Deceived all I have seen
''Forgive me for what I have been. }}
* Bob has a small one in [[Zombie Apocalypse|"Re: Your Brains"]] by [[Jonathan Coulton]], which doesn't seem to effect him much.

{{quote|''Since I was no bigger than a
''they've been saying I was evil
''that if bad was a boot then I'd fit it
''that I'm a wicked young lady,
''but I've been trying hard lately
''Oh fuck it! I'm a monster! I admit it! }}
* "I Was Wrong" by Social Distortion.
{{quote|''When I was young, I was so full of fear
''[[Jerkass Facade|I hid behind anger, held back the tears]]
''It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
''[[Break the Haughty|But the world fought back, punished me for my sins]]
''I felt so alone, so insecure
''I blamed you instead, made sure I was heard
''And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
''But I couldn't hear what they had to say
''I was wrong, self-destruction's got me again
''I was wrong, I realise now that I was wrong }}
* Happens in the middle of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQYZUU63QM "Crusade"] by [[Voltaire (musician)|Voltaire]], after the narrator has slain one of the reportedly evil dragons he was crusading against.
{{quote|''The dragon fell upon the ground
''{{'}}Twas then I heard a whimpering sound
''A dragonling to his father clung
''Who only fought to protect his young. }}
