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 ↴

都会の雑踏背を向けて歩いた
舞い上がる風には幾つもの壊れた約束
ちっぽけな言い訳だけが勇気だった
不安な想いばかり溜息の夜に
無邪気な笑顔の子供たちの瞳は
素直な輝き街を見つめ生きてゆくのか
遥か遠く消えそうな故郷の空には
今にも翼広げはばたく虹越えて

涙が溢れてた I wanna
Moment like forever
世界中で一人の様な気がして
誰のせいでもなく
君のせいでもなく
過ぎる時に答え
かき消されても忘れない

遥か遠く遠く遠い故郷の空の下
泣き疲れて眠ってる子供たちよ
いつか君が大人になって振りかえった時
全てをその笑顔で受け入れて欲しい
ずっと夢に見てた幼い頃あの日

世界中の全てに手が届いて
誰のせいでもなく
君のせいでもなく
過ぎる時に
答えかき消されても

涙が溢れてた I wanna
Moment like forever
世界中で一人の様な気がして
誰のせいでもなく
君のせいでもなく

ほほをつたう涙は
ほら今でも輝いて

Overall Meaning

The song "Like Forever" by Sophia talks about the struggle of leaving one's hometown and finding comfort in memories. The first verse refers to walking away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the broken promises that come with it. The singer's only source of courage was their feeble excuses. The second verse mentions the innocent smiles of children and their unwavering hope for the future. The chorus repeats the sentiment of wanting a moment to last forever and feeling like one is alone in the world. The bridge speaks of the singer's desire to be able to reach everything in the world without being held back by anyone else, but ultimately realizing that time will continue to pass and everything will eventually be forgotten.

The song touches on themes of nostalgia, longing, and the fear of loss. The singer is grappling with the idea of leaving behind the familiar and the comforting, and trying to find meaning in the fleeting moments of life. The lyrics are poignant and introspective, with a lingering sense of melancholy throughout the song.
