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.

Within Without
Sophia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what I'm thinking of
and you'll never know
why I hide
and you'll never know
why in my eyes I have become what I despise
no you'll never know
I am not evil
I am not evil
The lyrics to Sophia's song Within Without seem to be an exploration of the private inner world of the singer which seems to be at odds with the external world. There is a sense of isolation and detachment in the lyrics as the singer asserts that no one will ever really know what they are thinking or feeling. The singer seems to grapple with identity, acknowledging that there is a disconnect between who they see themselves as and who they feel themselves to be. There is a deep sense of self-loathing and a struggle with the concept of evil, which the singer claims not to embody despite how they perceive themselves.
The lyrics seem to be a deep exploration of the human psyche and the emotions that drive us. It is both reflective and introspective, showcasing the complexity of the human mind and how it can be both an enigma and a source of profound beauty. The song delves into the darkness of the human soul and illuminates the fact that every individual carries within them complex emotions and thoughts, which are often not visible to the outside world.
