Servia or Servian may refer to:
Servia, Greece
Servia (Greek: Σέρβια) is one of the main towns in the Kozani regional unit, West Macedonia, Greece. Since the local government reform of 2011, it is the seat of the extended municipality of Servia-Velventos. Prior to 2011, the town was the seat of the Municipality of Servia. Τhe town itself has a population of 3,540 people (2011 census).
Etymology
Its name derives from the Latin verb servo, meaning "to watch over" and it was given by the Romans, approximately during the 2nd century A.D., replacing what is thought to be the ancient name of the town Phylacae (Greek: Φυλακαί) from the Greek verb φυλάσσω "to watch over". The ancient name of the town of Servia is also mentioned by Roman writer Pliny the Elder as well as on an Ancient Greek inscription found at the city of Veroia which reads: "Παρμενίων Γλαυκία Φυλακήσιος νικητής εν Δολίχω", i.e. "Parmenion son of Glauceas from Phylacae winner at Doliche".
History
Prehistoric period
Servia has given its name to the prehistoric settlement site beside the former bridge across the Haliakmon river to the west and now submerged deep below the surface of Lake Polyphytos. This was first reported by Alan John Bayard Wace and first excavated by the British School at Athens under the direction of Walter Heurtley in 1930. Renewed excavations were jointly conducted by the Greek Archaeological Service and the British School at Athens under the direction of Aikaterina Rhomiopoulou and Cressida Ridley between 1971 and 1973; in advance before the completion of the Polyphytos hydro-electric dam and the flooding of the valley, to create Polyphytos lake.

Silence Room
by: ZarifSILENCE ROOM
I’m sitting right in your house
I’m sitting on your settee
I had to make my own coffee and find the remote for your tv
I came all this way
But you’re a million miles away
I’m still waiting till you get off the phone, like I got all day
You better wait a sec
Cos I can’t connect
You gotta let me in your head
Chorus
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
Gotta get out of the silence room
I’m sitting with all your friends
We’re laughing at all your ways
I pretend I see the funny side but really I’m ready to break
They say talk is cheap
But with you it wouldn’t be
If you could just take the time to speak your mind
How much effort would that take
You better make a start
At trying to act the part
Or I’m getting on the next plane
Chorus
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
Gotta get out of the silence room
You’re keeping a secret, you know it’s a lie
You’re walking on thin glass you know that this can’t last
You’re keeping a secret, you know it’s a lie
You gotta let me in your head
Chorus
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
Gotta get out of the silence room
You know it, you see it
You can’t get out of it
I show it, you conceal it
But I’m still shut out of it
And I get so upset
It’s got to happen soon
