“Soap” is the 2nd song in Penelope Scott’s 2021 EP Album “Hazards”. The song profiles the singer slowly degrading over time, using more extreme and negative language in the chorus as the song goes on.
[Verse 1]
There's all this dirt under my nails
Wouldn't you like to see where I went to high school?
Blood under my knuckles
You should've heard the way I spoke last night
[Chorus]
There's salt inside my mouth
Sugar on my tongue
Freckles on my cheeks
From good old-fashioned West Coast sun
I feel so beaten up and bruised
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I can't keep anything at all
From slipping through my raccoon claws
Except for (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
[Verse 2]
There's soap under my nails
Can you imagine being back in high school?
Blood scratched from my knuckles
You should've called but I guess so should I (Mhm)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
There's salt inside my veins
Sugar on my tongue
Crinkles by my eyеs
From goddamn fucking West Coast sun
I feel so beaten up and bruisеd
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I can't keep anything at all
From slipping through my raccoon claws
Except for all
[Verse 3]
This soap under my nails
I never asked for this, I'm just one creature
Blood trapped in my knuckles
I don't know what I wanted, I didn't think it was this
[Chorus]
There's sugar in my mouth
Liquor on my tongue
Freckles on my cheeks
From fucking goddamn West Coast fun
I feel so beaten up and used
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I can't keep anything at all
From slipping through my raccoon claws
Except for all
The soap (Mhm)
[Outro]
And blood
And guts
