Sofia
Quarters of Change Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And Sofia has cigarette holes in her jeans
She doesn′t even under, doesn't even under,
Doesn′t even understand my love for her
She can never wonder, she can never wonder,
She can never wonder, wonder if she has love for me
Shout and scream like me on my knees
Sofia tastes like, tastes like everything that's pure
Mixed with um, some tobacco and some cheap street food
Sofia never fusses much ′cause Sofia got a lot in store
I heard like, she does photography
Two cups of honeydew, isn′t that a lot
Sofia left me on the corner, hey that's better
Than being stood up on the spot
She would never apologize for any of her
Wrongs and that is why I love her
I′d give her my time in this song, in this song
Shout and scream like me on my knees
I can't touch you, I can only see
The song "Sofia" by Quarters of Change talks about a girl named Sofia who dresses like it's still the 90s and smokes cigarettes, which have left holes in her jeans. The singer expresses his love for her, despite the fact that she cannot reciprocate the same feelings. He talks about her being unable to wonder or understand his love, which is something that he accepts. The chorus repeats the line "Shout and scream like me on my knees, I can't touch you, I can only see", which could potentially mean that the singer is expressing his frustrations about being unable to physically be with Sofia.
The second verse describes Sofia's taste as being a mix of everything pure, tobacco, and cheap street food. It could be interpreted as the singer appreciating Sofia's authenticity and not caring about societal norms or expectations. The verse also mentions that Sofia does photography, which could be seen as a creative outlet for her. The final lines of the verse describe Sofia as someone who doesn't apologize for her wrongs, but the singer still loves her anyway. The song ends with the same repeated chorus, which could symbolize the singer's ongoing infatuation with Sofia despite the fact that they cannot be together.
