"Bittersweet is about a man who has dedicated so much of his life to his job, professional status and wealth that his personal life has suffered as a consequence. He believes that the only way that he can get some love and feel some emotion is by paying for it. He becomes infatuated by this girl that he arranges to see on a regular basis, even though he keeps promising himself that each time will be the last. He knows that her time is limited and when they're done he is left feeling alone and empty inside. He longs to be back in her presence and finds himself continually falling back into temptation."

Lyrics:
Feel her soft kiss
Bitter taste on red lips
Cold hands bare thighs
She's yours just for the night

All you need is
Some kind of meaning
Love her in secret
And when her time has passed you know she will be leaving
Thinking it's the last time that you will be feeling

Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
Feel her heat
You're pocket deep
Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
So till the next time
Gotta get back in her line

In the daylight
Money eyed suit and tie
Clean cut socialite
To camouflage your heated mind

Lady hustler
Heart rate's a little faster
High end customer
And when her time is done you keep on chasing after
Never get enough of the one you can not master

Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
Feel her heat
You're pocket deep
Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
So till the next time
Gotta get back in her line

Wait till the next time
Wait until the next,
Wait till the next time
Wait until the next,
Wait till the next time
Wait until the next... time

Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
Feel her heat
You're pocket deep
Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
So till the next time
Gotta get back in her line

Bittersweet
Not yours to keep
Feel her heat
You're pocket deep
Bittersweet
Not yours this time.

Lyrics:
Dark room, no room to breathe
Inhale your gaze on me
Eyes blurred, captured, naive
Tender fingers all over me
Voices linger outside
So I just sit and hide
You go and tell the myth
Of a romance like this

Got me tempted by pure black, black
A piece of me I can’t take back, back
Wishing we could just backtrack back track 
And stop this contact

Chorus
No I don’t think I’m ready for it
Now I gotta pick up my head and hide the evidence
When it’s time to face the cool kids, I’ll just pretend
It’s alright
No I’m not ready to be pushed off the edge
Now I gotta pick up my head and go with the trend
Rather be a liar then be killed by regret
Fake blood on my hands, I’m the silent witness.
I’m the silent witness
I’m the silent witness

The girls rumour the words
Pursue untrue whispers
Don’t deserve false respect
Coz I’ve not done it yet  

Got me tempted by pure black, black
A piece of me I can’t take back, back
Wishing we could just backtrack back track 
And stop this contact

Chorus

And when this it’s all over
I thought you’d like to know that
Maybe we could be more than just friends

Before you tell the world
I’m no longer that girl
And trap me forever in this pretend

It was our hidden secret
I thought you’d like to keep it
Never have I been exposed before

I know it’s in your past
But for me the rumours last
How could I have got this all so wrong?

“Firebrick was inspired by a young woman who I’ve known for many years. The song tells the story of how she hasn’t had the best experiences when it comes to the men in her life. Although she’s been cursed with this bad luck, the silver lining in the narrative is that no matter how bad it’s been and no matter how many men have tried to control or deflate her, she comes back fighting each time. Firebrick is an intense shade of red, so in the chorus I make the comparison between a ‘washed out firebrick tone’ and this girl’s passionate, fiery personalty which is slowly fading away by these men.”

Lyrics:
12 years old and you’re one role model 
Always there, he always cared, your one role model 
Uuuu…you read the messages, from that lady with a kiss 
Uuuu…you couldn’t quite believe, what was hiding up his sleeve 
 
Chorus:  
You are a washed out firebrick tone 
Scarred by every single man you’ve known  
You are a washed out firebrick tone  
Scarred by every single man who, owned, owned 
Your heart …. Your heart….Your heart…. Your heart…. 
 
Twenty two, caught in a toxic romance 
And he tells you, nobody else could understand 
Uuuu… you’re hidden in his fortress, ball is in his court yes  
Uuuu… was this hidden in your stars, written from the start 
 
Chorus 
 
Every time you thought you could trust  
They stole your sparkle, your stardust  
Don’t show them just how much they cut  
Past your skin and to your blood 
Be the last one standing tall  
Push their backs up to the wall 
Burn the memories that fill your head  
Until you end up telling them… 
 
Chorus to end

“The concept behind Bloodline came from the notion that society tend to treat and think about people who don’t fall into the ‘norm’ category differently. I believe that everyone is uniquely individual whether it’s their race, ability, gender or sexuality. At times some people are unintentionally made to feel like ‘outsiders', but we should remember that we're all human and we should be encouraging unity and highlighting similarities whilst respecting each other’s differences! I know this song will be released into a world that finds itself in some very unsettling times and I would love for “Bloodline” to be a reminder of the importance in showing love and compassion to the people around us.”. 

Lyrics:
Soft imagination
But it causes you frustration
Your mind is different from mine
Minor variation
But it causes alteration
In the mind of people from the other kind

We are blinded by appearances
We don’t know why you don’t belong
We are blinded by the differences
And we are the ones who got it wrong

We are all, we are all
One bloodline 
If we just, if we just
Take a little time 
We could all, we could all 
Reunite
Coz we are, we are 
One bloodline

God knows we are sinful
Don’t read this fiction in full
How we only worship what is gone
We treasure our demons
And banish all the saints
They’ve got us dancing to their song

We are blinded and uninterested
We don’t know why you don’t belong
We are blinded by our innocence
And we are the ones who got it wrong

Chorus

We are
You know we are, you know we are
We are
You know we are, you know we are

S.O.S says; “The concept behind Bloodline stemmed from the notion that society tend to treat and think about people who don’t fall into the ‘norm’ category, differently.
At times people are unintentionally made to feel like ‘outsiders’ but instead of fearing our differences, we should be encouraging unity by highlighting the similarities that bring us all together! I believe that the world’s differences in race, ability, gender and sexuality are what make us all uniquely individual and we shouldn’t punish anyone who doesn’t have our same beliefs.
I know Bloodline - The Editor Remix will be released into a world that finds itself in some very unsettling times and so my intention is for it to be a reminder of the importance in showing love and compassion to the people around us and treating everyone equally.”

Bloodline - The Editor Remix (Radio Edit)

"This was one of the hardest songs I've ever had to write. We spent hours refining the lyrics to ensure we accurately portray the emotions of the piece, whilst remaining as respectful as possible. It is such a difficult subject-matter to write about and that's why I think it's rarely highlighted, not just in pop music but in society too. The more women I speak to, the more I realise that so many people have gone through this terrible experience, yet hardly ever speak out about it. For this reason, I wanted 'Like A Flower' to be the song to say; I know this situation sucks but it's totally ok to let your voice and your story be heard, should you wish to do so. It's just a little reminder that you don't have to go through this pain alone." 

Lyrics:
She planned to sing you a lullaby 
She planned to write you a song 
She thought there was no better god 
22 years on earth she stood 
Grounded even when it shook

The walls are caving 
The ﬂoors are breaking 
Darkness preying on her 
She starts ﬁghting
Can’t face losing 
Who is bruising her?

Drowned by the storm 
Burnt by the ﬁre
Just like a ﬂower 
That can’t save itself 
Stolen by the wind
Pulled out by the roots 
Petals turn to ashes
In front of you

Just like a, just like a ﬂower 
Just like a, just like a ﬂower

Now she sleeps unsettled nights 
Now she wonders, 
“Am I a sinner?”
She knows the devil lives beyond the paper 
Only two months on this earth
Then he dragged her through the dirt

The walls are shaking 
The ﬂoors decaying Silence preying on her 
She keeps ﬁghting 
Can’t face losing
Who is bruising her?

Chorus

Nobody to run to
A tale of broken youth
This nightmare haunting you

A little heartbeat it echoes, heartbeat it echoes 
Nobody to run to
Lost the most you could lose 
This void is killing you
And the silence it echoes, silence it echoes

Chorus

Like a Flower

S.O.S - Firebrick (The Editor Remix)

Hi Guys, my name is Sophie DeBattista, Born and raised on the beautiful Maltese Islands, and residing in London since 2012.
An interior designer by profession, I really enjoy creating, playing and listening to music. One of my favourite hobbies  in life is entertaining commuters on the London Underground as a busker. 
Actually me and my acoustic guitar go a long way, having had the privilege of playing across the UK live music circuit for the last 7 years.  
A couple of years ago I was also lucky to receive a scholarship from The Mayor of London from which  I studied music at The ICMP faculty. It was here where my passion for music took a strong surge forward. In time I graduated with a 1st class BA Hons Degree in songwriting. This is where ‘S.O.S’, the Musical Artist and my electro/pop sound  was created. 
My writing is often inspired from real life events involving friends, family and even myself. 
Hope you will enjoy listening to my music as much as I love making it!!
Feel free to share your thoughts with me!!
Much love 
Sophie x.o.x
