Frontman Sebastian Fox has stated that “Soteria” is a track named after the Greek goddess of safety and salvation, Soteria.
The song is about Sebastian’s realization that his character and morals have devolved, and he’s no longer the good person he once was.
Sebastian in an interview with The Line...
[Verse 1]
I am a bad man pretending
Tormented by temptations of the heart
Forgive me for the things you will never know
You know I sunk so low in the dark
[Chorus]
I don't know if I can help myself
You know the shadows creep and demons seek me in droves
There are things about me you don't know
There is more of the dark than I put on show
[Verse 2]
I seek redemption in the darkest places
The recesses of my heart
Will Soteria save me from my narcissism
My virtues lost in the dark?
[Chorus]
I don't know if I can help myself
You know the shadows creep and demons seek me in droves
There are things about me you don't know
There is more of the dark than I put on show
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
I don't know if I can help myself
You know the shadows creep and demons seek me in droves
There are things about me you don't know
There is more of the dark than I put on show
