"Soap" Analyzation

I have done lyric analyzation for the past two weeks and I really like it rather than my other, in my opinion, more raw writing. So this week I am analyzing Soap by Melanie Martinez.
      The opening lyric is "Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap." This is clearly figurative meaning that she said something she shouldn't have said so she wants to "wash her mouth out with soap."
      Next it says,"I think I just remembered something. I think I left the faucet running. Now my words are filling up the tub." I think this means that she is running her mouth and saying too much and the last sentence means that she can't undo what she said.
      Then,"Darling you're just soaking in it, but I know you'll get out the minute." This means that the person she told is thinking about what she said and processing it (reference the saying "soak it in"), but he will soon realize what he wants to answer with.
      "You notice all your fingers pruning up." After research, this lyric means that if this person says yes, she predicts he will get tired if her after a long time. Since "prune fingers" are a sign to get out of the bath, he will feel a sign to get out of the relationship.
      "I'm tired if being careful, tip toe, trying to keep the water warm." This means that she was tired of keeping a secret, I don't assume this means that she is happy about telling it.
      The next line is,"Uh oh, there goes, I said too much it overflowed. Why so I always spill?" She knows she let it out and she regrets saying it because I assume his reaction was not ideal.
      The chorus is,"I feel it coming out my throat. Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap. God I wish I never spoke. Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap." This means that she feels she will say more and she doesn't want to. Before she says too much, she decides to "wash her mouth out with soap" meaning that she will make sure she doesn't let anymore out.
      "I think I got myself in trouble, so I'll fill the bath with bubbles." When many people feel stressed, they take bubble baths. So Melanie decides to do so.
      "Then I'll put the towels all away." I think this means she is putting the towels away as metaphor for putting their old memories away/behind
      "Should've never said the word love. Threw a toaster in the bathtub. I'm sick of all the games I have to play." She said "I love you." He most likely rejected, and now to kill herself, she would put a toaster in her bath.
      In conclusion, this song means that Melanie told him she loves him. He broke her heart so she wants to wash her mouth out with soap and undo it like she never said anything at all.

"Gold" Analyzation

      Last week, I analyzed "Middle" by DJ Snake and Bipolar Sunshine. I really enjoyed it so I decided to do it again with another one of my favorite songs, "Gold" by Kiiara. 

      The opening line is,"Gold up in my, gold up in my teeth (Gold up, Gold up in my teeth). Don't care what you say to me, I'ma bite your feelings out (Gold up in my teeth)." This line to me means that she is stating her power. In many popular songs, the artist shows that they are of a high status and importance by having gold teeth.

      Next, the song says,"I missed you in the basement, but you brother was a good substitute for you." This means that she was expecting someone that didn't show up but he/she was replaceable. This makes me believe that she is getting over this person.

      "And if you love me, love me but you never let me go." This quote from the song reminded me of a common saying so I did some research and found it. "If you love something set it free. If it comes back it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be." I find the relation to be how in the last line she is saying that they are replaceable, but she just wanted to make them jealous. But she couldn't force the love so they have to "set each other free."

      I also did research on this next line. "When the roof was on fire, you never let me know." The phrase "roof on fire" means "obvious" since typically a roof on fire is very obvious to see. So I think this means that the other person felt unhappy and felt the problems were obvious so didn't bother letting her know. The line basically translates to,"When there were problems you thought were obvious and I didn't, you never let me know."

      "Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show." This wasn't hard to find out. It means that he/she always gives apologies that she doesn't feel are sincere.

      Then it says, "And I could leave a party without ever letting you know, without ever letting you know," I think this means that they never notice her so she could do whatever she wants and she would never be acknowledged. The "party" could also be a metaphor for their relationship.

      "Tastes like money when I speak." She is once again, like the gold teeth line, asserting herself and her power.

      "And I missed you in the basement." Since she is restating this, this makes me think that now she is really over it.

      "Bodies on the pavement." This line is pretty weird so I once again did some research. It seems to mean that these "bodies" are all the people, or past partners that she no longer cares about and she is letting go.

      In conclusion, this song means that Kiiara was in a relationship where she felt like she wasn't getting attention and she wasn't loved so at first she tried to make them jealous and win them back but she realized it wasn't meant to be. She then began to lose feelings and let it go. This was my analyzation of  "Gold" by Kiiara.
