The musical history of the members of the band reaches far back. Filip Míšek and Petr Šámal met many years ago and played together in a band called "Hummingbird". At about the same time, Filip Míšek started with the band "Roe-Deer". This is where he met the gifted singer Ema Brabcová. Pretty soon they both knew that they wanted to make a different sort of music - and Khoiba was born. The name Khoiba, by the way, is a fictional creation of bassist Petr Šámal. Nowadays, Ema Brabcová, Filip Misek, Petr Šámal and Yonatan Omer concentrate exclusively on Khoiba - with due success. The sound of Khoiba is an inspired interplay of electronic music and clear, melodious guitar tunes, a creative down-tempo mix full of ideas, that creates an exceptional and special atmosphere. A great part in this surely has Ema Brabcová with her distinctive and expressive voice that immerses you in the partly spheric and catchy Khoiba tunes. The track "Half In" (Track 2 of the debut album "Nice Traps") is a very good example for this. Khoiba describes their style as "pop and atmospheric music, full of melancholy and positive emotions, sometimes very dynamic, somtimes soft". Each track has its own history and its own inherent emotions. Khoiba are not only convincing studio musicians, but very approachable with live performances all over Europe, which they meticulously prepare and enjoy. Whether in their home country the Czech Republic or in France, Germany, the Netherlands or Austria, they have impressed the audience at more than 50 gigs and festivals. "Live performances are very important to us and always very special events full of emotions. We are pleased when the audience gets carried away and when we get their positive feedback", says the band, and one can tell that music plays a big part in their lives.
Taste it
Khoiba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna taste it and break down my fear
There is no need to be soft with me just make me sweat
I wanna taste it so why do i fear?
What i fear is that i'll lose my throne
He will erase it (me) from my tape
So would you lay me down on my back
I wanna taste it and you don't believe me
I came back
I do wanna feel bad
I wanna taste it to know i'm like
I wanna taste it and break down my fear
I wanna taste it so why do i fear?
You don't wanna lay me down on my back
I wanna taste it to make it real
Until i make it real
My stomach for existing qualms
Will i forget?
Any excuses externaly false
Will i forget all maybes on our scene?
The lyrics to Khoiba's song "Taste It" convey the desire to break free from fear and inhibitions and fully embrace life's experiences. The repeated line "I wanna taste it to know I'm like" suggests that the singer wants to truly understand and connect with the world around them. However, this desire is tempered by a fear of losing control or power, as hinted at in the line "What I fear is that I'll lose my throne." The singer acknowledges that they may need to let go of control and allow themselves to be vulnerable in order to fully experience life, as evidenced by the line "There is no need to be soft with me just make me sweat."
The song also explores themes of self-doubt and uncertainty. The line "I wanna taste it so why do I fear?" suggests that the singer is aware of the dichotomy between their desire to experience life and their fear of the unknown. This is further underscored by the line "You don't wanna lay me down on my back", which suggests that the singer's partner may not fully understand or support their desire to step outside of their comfort zone. Ultimately, the song suggests that the singer is wrestling with conflicting emotions and desires in their quest to fully embrace life and find meaning in existence.
