“A monochrome of sound and art that fails the criteria of mediocrity.”
Over the years, this phrase has defined the music of Saydie, a five piece rock band formed in April 2003. Indeed, the band is best known for being pioneers in female fronted heavy music in the Philippines, with their debut self-titled album being one of the first to showcase a unique take on the genre in the local music scene of their home country. Over time, Saydie’s raw, aggressive and authentic approach to their music has earned them a huge and dedicated following.
In the 2010s, Saydie has managed to stand the test of time and continuously evolve its sound. This evolution is apparent with the band’s upcoming second album “Belita” from which the singles “Austine”, “Heather’s Prayer” and “Onyx” have been released – the first two singles gathering over 100,000 views on YouTube combined and the latter single topping the Rakista Radio charts for three consecutive weeks. Now a stronger band than ever, Saydie continues to aspire to greater heights of musical expression and success, with mediocrity being ever absent from the band’s vocabulary.
Saydie is Kat Taylor, Josh Madrid, Kurt Corpus, Monx Arguelles and Karl Kliatchko.

Saydie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be free I refused to recall how you left
how you left us here to die
We're counting backwards to seem sober
Are we counting backwards?
To seem?
One, two, three
I refuse to recall how you left
how you left us here to die
We're counting backwards to seem sober
Are we counting backwards?
To seem?
Are we counting backwards to seem,
Are we counting backwards to seem sober
Should I meet you underwater?
I'll give you a fever in December
It's blowing up and you're not there
Growing up and you're still scared
Are you still, are you still scared?
The song "K2" by Saydie is about the aftermath of a relationship gone wrong. The lyrics suggest that the singer blames the weather, their partner, and even their partner's mother for how things ended. The first verse is particularly poignant, as it reveals that the singer feels that their partner left them to die. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is moody and introspective. The chorus is repetitive and adds to the overall mood of the song. The line "We're counting backwards to seem sober" suggests that the singer is trying to cope with their feelings by acting as if they are more in control than they actually are. This is further emphasized by the questions "Are we counting backwards? To seem?"
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more intense. The line "Should I meet you underwater?" is a metaphor for the idea that the singer feels suffocated by their memories of their past relationship. The line "I'll give you a fever in December" suggests that the singer is still holding onto the hope that their partner will come back to them. However, the final line "Are you still scared?" suggests that the singer is ready to move on, even if their partner is not.
