They debuted with a self-titled EP in 2001, and broke through in 2002 with their debut album: "The Second You Sleep". Saybia received a Dansih Music Award for Best Danish album in 2003. Their third album was in the top 20 on the charts in the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland.

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.

Just A Dream
Saybia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Child...
I dreamt I watch you die...
You die right in my arms...
Felt you fell away...
Likely another day... Son,
I swear I fell that day
A pain that walk remain...
A few I had no need...

So...
I went into your room...
I silently open the door...
I set down next to you...
I look down on your face... Child,
I saw a paradise...
That **** in your ****
A few I had no need
Chorus(x2):
('Cause) you're my life child,
Everytime you breath,
I breath with you...
You're sunshine,
Everytime you cry, my
I cries too
Child...
I dreamt I watch you die...
You die right in my arms...
Felt you fell away...
Likely another day... Son,
I saw a paradise
That **** in your ****
A few I had no need
Chorus(repeat to fade):
('Cause) you're my life child,
Everytime you breath,
I breath with you...
You're sunshine,

Everytime you cry, my
I cries too

Overall Meaning

The song "Just a Dream" by Saybia is a powerful and emotional song about the love and connection between a parent and a child. The lyrics describe a dream in which the singer watches their child die in their arms, leaving them with a deep sense of pain and loss. The singer then goes into their child's room and looks at their face, feeling as though they are in paradise despite the pain they are experiencing. The chorus repeats the message that the child is the center of their parent's world and everything they do is connected to their child's life.

The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation, but it is clear that the emotions of loss, grief, love, and devotion are central themes. The use of the word "paradise" to describe the child's face is particularly striking, as it suggests that even in the midst of the most difficult and painful experiences, the love between a parent and child can create a sense of wonder and joy. The repetition of "you're my life child" in the chorus reinforces this idea that the child is everything to the parent, and their mere existence is enough to inspire love and devotion.
