When I closed my eyes
In the dead of night
I saw myself
Diving from a dark and high cliff
So I’m writing this rough song
’Cause something I can’t explain
Seems to be coming
I know, I know
It was all fake
Please don’t deny
The way I’m trying to take
壊れてしまう前に
You know, you know
Don’t expect from me
Sorry, I couldn’t be the one
You once dreamed of those days
目を醒ませば
浮かぶ誰かの姿
叶わない希望を
何度抱けばいい？
目眩がするような今日が
まだ終わってくれないから
頭抱え蹲った
I know, I know
It was too late
Please don’t deny
The song I’m trying to make
微かな光探し
You know, you know
Don’t give it to me
Sorry, I couldn’t be the one
I once dreamed of old days
転がっていく
毛布にくるまったまま
縋っている
傷も癒えないまま
押しつぶされる
言葉にできないまま
I wanna wreck them all my feelings
I know, I know
It was just game
Please don’t deny
The voice I’m trying to wake
忘れてしまう前に
You know, you know
Don’t expect from me
Sorry, I couldn’t be the one
You once dreamed, 'cause
We’re gazing at different rays

Dead of Night
sammy. /REVERSIES
sammy. /REVERSIES releases "Dead of Night"-
a raw and restrained emo/grunge tune, led by English lyrics with Japanese introspection.
sammy. /REVERSIES, the one-person alternative rock project from Japan, unveils a new single, Dead of Night, released in May 2025.
Driven primarily by English lyrics-while also incorporating key lines in Japanese-the track blends grunge grit with emo fragility, creating a cross-cultural emotional resonance.
Opening with acoustic stillness and building into waves of distortion, the song delivers its core message through the repeated line, "I couldn't be the one you once dreamed of."
Later, Japanese lyrics quietly emerge, grounding the song in personal reality and deepening its emotional impact.
Unlike the punk-forward MESSY DAY or Fall Away, or the somber introspection of Fujou and SLEEPLESS IN THE WOODS, this track explores a colder, quieter tension-a shift toward controlled chaos.
The mix balances rawness and clarity, and sammy.'s voice-though non-native in English-carries the kind of truth that transcends language.
Dead of Night stands as a signature track for sammy. /REVERSIES: honest, atmospheric, and emotionally unfiltered.
