Saybia plays alternative rock in the vein of bands like Coldplay and Athlete, their tracks have anthemic and melodic charachter and depth added with Søren Huss' world class vocal - Huss has in recent years established a solo career, singing in danish language, and with a slight change of musical style, leaving the future of Saybia to the unknown, but they have not split up.
They released three EPs before signing to EMI in the spring of 2001, after which they started working on their debut album The Second You Sleep. When this album was finished, the band started touring through Europe. In 2003, the band was about to break up. After recognizing this, the five bandmembers bought an old house on a Swedish island, renovated it and turned it into a studio. Saybia spent months on this island and wrote and recorded a lot of songs for These Are the Days, which was released in 2004. In 2007 they performed "Eyes on the highway" with their new album on studio with the first single "Angel" recorded in their own place first time for months. The band split up and played their last gig at 6 november 2008 at Pumpehuset.
In 2011 and 2012 they played concerts again.
Saybia is a nameplay on the cymbal manufacturer "Sabian", which is Palle's brand of choice.

Saybia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everything is upside down
the one that I'm leaving
is the one I'm really trying to find
I know
it's so stupid and it's tearing me down
but a lack of selfconfidence
all night
I try telling you everything's not broken
but you cried when telling me all we had is gone
I'm drifting through the morning breeze
colors bluring in my eyes
the one that I'm missing
is the one drifting by my side
I know
it's so stupid and it's tearing me down
but a lack of selfconfidence
is keeping me down tonight
all night
and I try telling you everything's not broken
but you cried when telling me all we had is gone
and I try telling you everything's alright
'cause I feel that deep down inside you I'm still there
Try, try, try, try
and I try telling you everything's alright
cause I feel that deep down inside you I'm still there
The lyrics to Saybia's song Fools Corner depict the internal struggles of a person who is torn between leaving someone they love and searching for themselves. They are passing through a doorway, which can be symbolic of entering a new phase in life. The world appears to be upside down, indicating that everything is in a state of confusion. The person they are leaving behind is the one they are truly looking for, suggesting that they may have lost themselves in the relationship.
The lack of self-confidence mentioned in the lyrics is keeping the person down all night. They try to assure their partner that everything is not broken, but their attempts are met with tears as the partner believes that what they had is gone. The person is drifting through the morning breeze, and the colors around them are blurring, possibly indicating that they are feeling disconnected from their surroundings. They miss the person who is drifting by their side and feel torn by their internal struggle.
