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.

Signs
Sophia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The old couple argued confused by our map
And you smiled and said "Someday that's how I want to be"
And I don't know how I ever thought I had a chance with you
No I've never been good with signs
And I don't know how I ever thought I had a chance with you...
And then again on Valentines
We never made it to St. Petersburg
But princess I hope you make it there sometime...
And I don't know how I ever thought I had a chance with you
No I've never been good with signs
And I don't know how I ever thought I had a chance with you
No I've never been good with signs...
"Sophia's Song Signs" is a nostalgic ballad about reminiscing on past memories and missed opportunities. The singer reminisces about a time they shared with someone special, where an old couple argued with them over a map, ironically providing an aspiration for their own future together. The song is full of regret, as the singer reflects on how they could never read the signs, missing opportunities to be with the person they loved.
The second verse of the song furthers the nostalgic tone, as the couple failed to make it to St. Petersburg together. Sophia, the person the singer is seemingly singing to, says she should have left the singer on Christmas and Valentine's Day. Nevertheless, the singer still hopes for Sophia to fulfill her dreams of visiting St. Petersburg.
The song is ripe with regret and the idea that the singer missed chances to love and support someone in their life. The repeated line "No I've never been good with signs" further emphasizes this idea, suggesting that the singer's inability to pick up on the signs of love and commitment led to missed opportunities.
Line by Line Meaning
I remember the first time we laughed
I recall the initial moment when we shared a laugh with each other
The old couple argued confused by our map
An elderly couple had a dispute while trying to navigate with our map, which amused us
And you smiled and said "Someday that's how I want to be"
You grinned and expressed your desire to be like that in the future
And I don't know how I ever thought I had a chance with you
I have no idea how I deluded myself into thinking that I could be with you
No I've never been good with signs
I have always been bad when it comes to understanding signals or hints
You said you should have left me a Christmas
You asserted that you should have ended our relationship during Christmas
And then again on Valentines
Additionally, you mentioned doing the same on Valentine's Day
We never made it to St. Petersburg
We were never able to visit St. Petersburg
But princess I hope you make it there sometime...
However, my dear, I hope that you get to go there someday
And I don't know how I ever thought I had a chance with you
Once again, I cannot fathom how I believed that there was a possibility of us being together
No I've never been good with signs
As I mentioned before, deciphering signals has never been my strong suit

I started with The God Machine in 1993 which blew me away and have continued to follow Sophia off and on over the years. I love your vibe and your sounds.
