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.

Still Falling
Saybia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost, scared and soaked
In sweat
I lay in bed
Still falling from a rooftop
I'm still trying to get
Closer to who I am
Twilight descends
Into a dark velvet painting of my life
Although there's light
Redemption seems so distant
Enchant me with the courage to believe
Won't you grant me all the wisdom that I need
I'm still trying to get
Closer to who I am
Who am I
Enchant me with the courage to believe
Won't you grant me all the wisdom that I need
Grant me all the wisdom that I need
And enchant me with the courage to be free
To be free
The song "Still Falling" by Saybia is a poignant and melancholic ballad that speaks about the struggles that one faces in finding their true self. The lyrics describe a person who wakes up in the middle of the night, feeling lost and scared, as if falling from a rooftop. This imagery represents a sense of disorientation and uncertainty about their path in life. The line "Still falling from a rooftop" could also symbolize the feeling of being in freefall, unable to regain control of their life.
The next verse talks about the internal conflict that the person is battling with. They are trying to find themselves and come closer to knowing who they truly are. However, the darkness of the night seems to engulf them, making it difficult for them to see the light of redemption, which feels so far away. The desperation in the lyrics is a reflection of the challenges one can face in discovering their true identity.
In the chorus, the singer addresses a higher power, asking to be granted the courage and wisdom to believe and be free. This is an acknowledgment of the need for an external force to support them in their journey towards self-discovery. The song is a call for help and guidance in finding one's true self and living a fulfilled life.
Line by Line Meaning
Last night I woke
I awakened from sleep
Lost, scared and soaked
Feeling disoriented, afraid and wet
In sweat
Because of perspiration
I lay in bed
I stayed still in my bed
Still falling from a rooftop
Suffering from a falling sensation while laying down
I'm still trying to get
I'm making an attempt at
Closer to who I am
Discovering my personal identity
Who I am
My true self
Twilight descends
Dusk is approaching
Into a dark velvet painting of my life
This moment feels like a gloomy artwork representing my life
Although there's light
Despite some brightness
Redemption seems so distant
I feel far away from salvation
Enchant me with the courage to believe
Make me feel magically empowered to have faith
Won't you grant me all the wisdom that I need
Could you provide me with every knowledge required?
Grant me all the wisdom that I need
Please provide me with all necessary insight
And enchant me with the courage to be free
Also, give me the spell for feeling courageous enough to be free
To be free
To experience liberty
