1) Sophia is a martial industrial act from Sweden. The band is the brainchild of Peter Bjärgö (born Peter Pettersson), also of Arcana. Using martial and heavy industrial rhythms, choral sections, neoclassical orcestration and dark ambient soundscapes, Sophia crafts a dark and oppressive soundscape of nihilism, bitterness and sorrow.
Sophia was first started in 1998 when Peter Bjärgö recorded plenty of songs as a side project to Arcana. Those songs were unfortunately destroyed and the thought of a harscher side project blossomed again in 2000. The first album was recorded with the intention of making songs for a live performance. Together with Per Åhlund, Peter Bjärgö performed a few live shows and in 2001 the first release came out, entitled "Aus Der Welt". In 2001 Ia Bjärgö, Peter's wife, joined the band and the jounrey moved on. With the albums "Herbstwerk", "Seduction of Madness", "Death,Dumb and Blind" along with" Spite", Sophia became one of the most well known and recognized underground industrial bands in the world. When Ia Bjärgö 2retired" from Sophia, Stefan Eriksson entered as a new co-worker to Peter. After the release of "Deconstruction of the World", which he also made together with Stefan Eriksson, Sophia was put torest for many years. It wasn't until 2010 when Peter joined forces again together with ia Bjärgö and Per Åhlund again. New songs are recorded, plans for a new album is at hand and a few live gigs have already been done. Welcome to the new era of SOPHIA.

2) Indie band Sophia includes The Flower Shop Recordings mainman and former The God Machine singer/guitarist Robin Proper-Sheppard. After the sudden and tragic death of schoolfriend and God Machine bassist Jimmy Fernandez, Proper-Sheppard began searching for a new musical outlet. Together with friends and fellow musicians from other Flower Shop bands Elevate, Ligament and Oil Seed Rape, Proper-Sheppard began working on the music that would become known as Sophia. Citing influences such as Neil Young, Uncle Tupelo and Sparklehorse, early albums Fixed Water (1996) and Infinite Circle (1998) were much more acoustic-based and given the circumstances understandably more melancholic than The God Machine while People Are Like Seasons (2004) and Technology Won't Save Us (2007) started to return to a more electrically dynamic and orchestrated sound. There Are No Goodbyes was released via The Flower Shop/City Slang in 2009.

Sophia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君と僕は 忘れたくないだけ
君と僕は 確かめたいだけ
戦の痛みを 抱きしめて
Ah 誰も否定など
できるはずなどなくて
Ah 誰も奪うことなんて
出来ないはずさ
この手に銃を取る?
Ah 誰も残酷で弱い心に嘆き
Ah 誰も繰り返す過ち
目を逸らしたくて
それでもいつかは
この手に銃を取る?
それでも僕らは
泣きながら生まれた
君と僕は 歩いていたいだけ
君と僕は 忘れたくないだけ
君と僕は 確かめたいだけ
いつかこの身が果てるまで
These lyrics are from the song "Sen" by Sophia. The song revolves around the theme of companionship, longing, and the human desire to hold onto memories and experiences. The first verse expresses a simple desire to walk alongside someone, not wanting to forget them and wanting to ascertain the pain of battle they hold onto. It portrays a deep connection between two individuals who share a bond and want to support each other.
The chorus of the song questions the existence of denial and the ability to take away something that is deeply intrinsic to a person. It presents a rhetorical question about whether despite this doubt, the singers are still willing to take up arms, symbolizing their commitment to their cause or relationship. This suggests that even when faced with uncertainty, they are willing to take risks and fight for what they believe in.
The second verse adds a layer of introspection and vulnerability. It speaks of the cruelty and weakness that everyone experiences, the mistakes that are repeated over and over again. The desire to avert one's gaze from these mistakes is expressed but followed by the question of whether, despite this reluctance, they will still eventually take up arms. This conveys the idea that even though they may wish to ignore the flaws and weaknesses within themselves and others, they may eventually be pushed to confront them.
The final line of the lyrics captures the sentiment of the impermanence of life and the determination to walk alongside someone until the end, refusing to forget or let go of the connection they share. It portrays a depth of emotion and a commitment to cherish every moment until their lives come to an end, highlighting the intensity of their bond and the desire to hold onto it for as long as possible.
