Origina… Read Full Bio ↴Angels Of Liberty were a UK based new old skool Goth band.
Original formation was:
Voe Saint-Clare on Vocals & Synths
Scarlet Powers on Vocals & Synths
Echo Von Hammer on Machine Drums.
Influences include Nosferatu, Bauhaus, and The Sisters of Mercy
Formed in 2011 the band spent years on painstaking research. The task was undertaken by getting monstrously drunk out on the UK scene following some of the best Goth Rock bands during the nineties. After years of snakebite fuelled antics, worn out winklepickers and working as glorified skiv-vies in recording studios they set about the task of creating something themselves. So more than a little fashionably late, showing signs erotic crystallization inertia and with moth eaten frock coats.
Debut Album 'Pinnacle Of The Draco' released November 2012 packing new, demo and previously unavailable material. Debut appearance at WGW 2012 was cancelled due to Voe having a biking accident around the time of the Albums realease.
Sophia
Angels of Liberty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come inside, search for me
Give yourself to the velvet darkness
Light a fire, you can be
She whispered words of rearranging
Storm clouds the future warns
Unveiling mystery...
The prism iron walls
Sophia...
I knew faith as a place of sorrow
Each second, knowing why...
In patriarchal gods creation
This hell, locked inside
I never strayed in the wrong direction
The king is here but the woman's gold
Some bend their will towards her
Knowing they can never hold
Sophia...
Sophia...
Sophia...
Sophia...
Bright light is chained to darkness
Their struggle creating form
Great beings they dream horizons
In love they conquer all
Devolution tried to own her
Crapping hearts and splitting minds
In the left you will coldly slumber
A cross bridge mona lisa smiles
Sophia...
Sophia...
Sophia...
Sophia...
The lyrics to "Sophia" by Angels of Liberty tell the story of a woman, Sophia, who invites the singer into the darkness to search for her. She speaks in cryptic phrases about rearranging and storm clouds warning of the future. The singer is drawn to her and willingly gives himself to the velvet darkness, lighting a fire in the process. The song speaks to a dichotomy between faith and sorrow: the singer has known faith to be a place of sorrow, a hell locked inside patriarchal gods' creation. However, his allegiance never wavers, even as he recognizes the allure of Sophia, who many bend their wills towards but can never fully possess.
Line by Line Meaning
She beckoned me in the dark to follow
She invites me to explore the unknown and follow her where no other light can reach
Come inside, search for me
Enter inside the abyss and search for her presence within
Give yourself to the velvet darkness
Submit yourself to the all-embracing darkness and let it take control
Light a fire, you can be
The power to create, to transform, and become is within you
She whispered words of rearranging
She spoke words that could change the course of destiny and alter reality
Storm clouds the future warns
The future is foretold by brewing chaos and instability
Unveiling mystery...
Revealing the secrets of the universe and the meaning of existence
The prism iron walls
Restrictions and limitations imposed by society
Sophia...
Acknowledging the divine feminine wisdom and symbol of creation
I knew faith as a place of sorrow
Religion often brought about grief, guilt, and despair
Each second, knowing why...
Constantly questioning the purpose and meaning of life
In patriarchal gods creation
Religion was heavily influenced by male-dominated institutions
This hell, locked inside
Deep-seated pain and torment trapped within the soul
I never strayed in the wrong direction
Stayed true to oneself and never lost sight of what truly mattered
The king is here but the woman's gold
Even though men hold the power, women possess the valuable treasures of intuition, empathy, and creativity
Some bend their will towards her
Some choose to follow the divine feminine wisdom and embrace the unknown
Knowing they can never hold
Although they are drawn to her, they understand they cannot possess her completely
Bright light is chained to darkness
Positive energy and progress is often bound by negative forces
Their struggle creating form
Conflict and tension can create structure and shape the future
Great beings they dream horizons
Visionaries dream big and strive for greatness
In love they conquer all
Love is the ultimate power to overcome hardship and adversity
Devolution tried to own her
Society's regression and decay attempted to control and suppress the divine feminine wisdom
Crapping hearts and splitting minds
Causing emotional turbulence and cognitive dissonance
In the left you will coldly slumber
If one strays from the divine feminine wisdom, they will live a cold and unfulfilled existence
A cross bridge mona lisa smiles
A crossroads where two paths meet, and the future is uncertain
Sophia...
Recognizing the power and influence of the divine feminine wisdom in guiding one's path in life
