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.

Stranded
Saybia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took a life for granted
Until it slipped right through my fingers
Although forever parted

I feel your presence more than ever
There's no return from where you went
And it leaves me stranded

It's written in my heart
It's written in my soul now
All the memories torn in me

A constant overload

It's written in the sky
It's written in the stars now
I'm haunted by the things I know

I should've done
All the time we should have had

Is gone

Tonight

In me
Your light will shine

And with a beautiful sky above
I was reduced to being human
I feel I'm ten feet under
And I long for your embrace
In the absence of your love
I pretend to be alright
But it's written in my heart
It's written in my soul now
All the memories torn in me

A constant overload

It's written in the sky
It's written in the stars now
I'm haunted by the things I know

We should have done
And all the time we should have had

Is gone

Tonight
In me
Your light will shine
In me now
You're living in me
Right in here in the bottom of my heart
With a beautiful sky above
I was reduced to being

Human

Line by Line Meaning

I took a life for granted
I didn't appreciate life enough and I may have taken it for granted

Until it slipped right through my fingers
I lost what I had and now it's gone

Although forever parted
Even though we are separated permanently

I feel your presence more than ever
I sense your existence, even more, after you're gone

There's no return from where you went
I can't bring you back from where you've gone or the situation that you're in

And it leaves me stranded
My inability to fix our situation leaves me stuck and helpless

It's written in my heart
My emotions keep a record in my heart

It's written in my soul now
My feelings are engraved in my soul

All the memories torn in me
I'm troubled by the memories that I have

A constant overload
My thoughts and emotions are constantly overwhelming

It's written in the sky
The universe records my dilemma

It's written in the stars now
Even my destiny is affected by it

I'm haunted by the things I know
The facts I have been tormenting me

I should've done
I regret the things I didn't do

All the time we should have had
I'm sad that we didn't have enough time together

Is gone
Time passed without us taking advantage of it

Tonight
Right now this moment

In me
I keep you in my memories and my emotions

Your light will shine
You will still be present in my heart and mind

And with a beautiful sky above
Even with beauty around me

I was reduced being human
I am vulnerable to emotions and not perfect

I feel I'm ten feet under
I feel like I'm drowning or my emotions are overwhelming me

And I long for your embrace
I miss the comfort of being with you

In the absence of your love
Without your love and presence

I pretend to be alright
I try to act like I'm fine

In me now
I still carry you within me

You're living in me
You may be gone, but you still have an impact on me and in my life

Right in here in the bottom of my heart
In the deepest part of me
