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.

CIRCUS
Sophia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

どうか聞いておくれ
眠りについた
いつかの無邪気な君
荒れ狂う海へ
流れ出る前に一つだけこの夜に
どしゃ降りの日曜日
街へ来た一団を
おどけたピエロを

泣きながら見てた
いつも暗い夜が怖くて
mamaのベッドにもぐり込んだ
窓をたたく雨
サーカスの時も
同じように降ってた
過ぎゆく季節に
無邪気で無垢な笑顔も
大人びたね
もうあの頃の様に
サーカスが怖くて
泣いたりしやしないさ
時には誰かを傷つける事さえも
時には自分を裏切る事も
行きかう人ゴミの中で
僕の僕の生まれた訳を
誰も教えてはくれはしないから
泣いちゃだめだよね
幸せになりたくて
笑っていたくて
君を好きでいたい
何が起きても

どしゃぶりの真夜中に
都会の真ん中で
おどけたピエロ達が何か叫んでる
何も分からぬ子供達でさえも
ピエロの流す涙に気付く
どんな人もサーカスに心奪われ
愛されて夢見て
いつも暗い夜が怖くて
mamaのベッドにもぐり込んだ
たとえ明日がまた
暗いどしゃぶりでも
逃げたりしないさ
あの時の雨がこの胸に降っても
どうかこの夜に
眠りについたいつかの

無邪気な君
荒れ狂う海へ荒れ狂う海へ...

Overall Meaning

The song "Circus" by Sophia is a nostalgically contemplative song about the loss of innocence and the passage of time. The lyrics ask the listener to remember a time when they were once carefree and innocent, represented by the image of a circus. The singer recalls watching the clowns and performers with childlike wonder and now realizes that this time is gone forever. The rain that falls both during the circus and the singer's memories represents the sorrow and grief that come with growing up and facing the harsh realities of the world. The singer mourns the loss of their own innocence and the loss of the people they used to be, while acknowledging that they must face the present and future with courage.

The lyrics also address the universal experience of struggling to find meaning in life and the difficulty of navigating the complexities of human relationships. The singer describes the way people are often hurt and betrayed by others, but also recognize that they themselves are capable of causing pain. They describe the people they encounter as "garbage" and express the desire to understand their own purpose in life. Despite these challenges, the singer holds onto hope and the desire to be happy, to laugh, and to love.
