1) Mike Truman and Chris Healings have been writing, producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade, amassing near 250 productions. The duo has written four LPs to date: Wide Angle, 1999; Morning Sci-Fi, 2003; I Choose Noise, 2006; and Disappear Here, 2010 – all on Distinctive.
Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album, Wide Angle, in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's third member – singer / songwriter Charlotte James – to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. The album features guest vocals from Tim Hutton, drums from Alex Madge and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Take A Fall
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The symptom of the cycle that you're on
There's a heart and there's a hope for the light again
I don't know just where you're going wrong
It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me no lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all
Throw it all against the wall, watch where the pieces fall
Never wanted to lose it all
You're just inclined to break it all
Break it up!
Break it up!
Break it up!
Break it up!
Just inclined to break it all
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
It takes a while but I know in time you'll come 'round again
The symptom of the cycle that you're on
You can get so high but then you get down again
Never even wanting to belong
It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all
Throw it all against the wall, watch where the pieces fall
Never wanted to lose it all
You're just inclined to break it all
It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all
Throw it all against the wall, watch where the pieces fall
Never wanted to lose it all
You're just inclined to break it all
Break it up!
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
Break it up!
You've just been crying to break it all
Break it up!
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
Break it up!
You're just inclined to break it all
It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all
The lyrics of Hybrid's song "Take a Fall" are quite introspective and attempt to understand the behavior of someone who repeatedly undermines their own progress. It starts with a hopeful note that the person causing the cycle will eventually come "round again," indicating that this is not the first time they have fallen into this pattern of behavior. Despite the sincerity in trying to understand and help the person see the light again, the singer admits that they "don't know just where you're going wrong."
The chorus highlights the person's tendency to self-sabotage, suggesting that it might seem tempting or even "fine" to take a fall and let everything crumble. The repeated urge to "break it all" suggests a lack of control and a need to start over completely while also echoing the sentiment of not knowing where things went wrong. The metaphor of throwing everything against the wall and watching where the pieces fall paints a picture of someone who has given up on trying to keep things together and just wants to see what happens next.
Overall, the song reflects a sense of frustration and helplessness when dealing with someone in a self-destructive spiral. The singer acknowledges that the person's behavior may feel beyond their control and that they may not have all the answers. However, they still hold onto a glimmer of hope that eventually, things will turn around.
