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 ↴
何処からずれ始めたんだろう
きしむ椅子に座って
窓の外グランドを走ってく
誰かの影を見てたあの頃かな
あの頃かな
限りなく弱虫な僕は
思えば中途半端なまま
強い愛で背中押す君を
いつまでも泣かしているね
Happy end いつも憧れた言葉さ
だけど続くこの道に終わりはなく
そしていつかこの場所を振り返る頃
今度は泣き顔じゃない君に
居て欲しいのさ
雨上がり柔らかな光に
窓開けたけど風はまだ冷たくて
振り返ったり懐かしむ事ばかりなら
もうこれ以上不安になる事はない
だけど僕らは限りなく弱虫な僕は
痛みがなくなるとまたそう
胸が痛むのさ
Happy end いつも憧れる言葉さ
だけど続くこの道に終わりはなく
そして君と走りつかれて倒れたら
どこかの窓からのぞく僕を
見つけるのさ終わりはない
終わりはない
Sophia's song "Happy End" explores the idea of nostalgia and our longing for a satisfying conclusion to our journeys in life. The lyrics convey a sense of surprise and confusion with the opening lines, "I didn't intend to come here; Where did I start to deviate?" This introspective tone is carried throughout the song as Sophia reflects on the past and its impact on her present. She remembers moments of weakness and indecision - a time when she was always crying and remembers someone who pushed her forward with strong love.
The titular phrase "Happy End" is something Sophia has always longed for, but she acknowledges that in life, there is no true end to our journeys. Instead, we continue on, always searching for something new. The idea of looking back on one's life is also touched upon in the lyrics with the line, "And when we look back at this place someday, we want to see you with a smile, not tears." Sophia concludes the song on a hopeful note, expressing a desire to keep moving forward with her loved ones and be satisfied with the journey, even if it doesn't have a clear ending.
