For all of the followers of Melanie Martinez, you should know that she uses songs to get points across. Not all of her songs are about love. But this one happens to be about her emotions. I interpreted that she is upset about trusting a boy and sharing something that she might have not wanted to share. She says in the song, "God I wish I never spoke, now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap." This is saying that she wishes that she could go back and change what she did and clean out her mouth and rid the bad judgement of who she was telling all of he information to. I hope this helps! Thanks-- Emma
Soap
Lyrics
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
Think I just remembered something
I think I left the faucet running
Now my words are filling up the tub
Darling, you're just soaking in it
But I know you'll get out the minute
You notice all your fingers pruning up
I'm tired of being careful, tiptoe
Trying to keep the water warm
Let me under your skin
Uh-oh, there it goes
I said too much, it overflowed
Why do I always spill?
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
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
I think I got myself in trouble
So I'll fill the bath with bubbles
Then I'll put the towels all away
Should've never said the word "love"
Threw a toaster in the bathtub
I'm sick of all the games I have to play
I'm tired of being careful, tiptoe
Trying to keep the water warm
Let me under your skin
Uh-oh, there it goes
I said too much, it overflowed
Why do I always spill?
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
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
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-wash mouth-mouth with soap
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

What is the Meaning of Soap
?
In this song, Melanie's referring to any girl who shared her emotions with a boy, but when she tells him that she love him, he doesn't know how to react to it or how to say it back. The character from the song regrets it cuz soon the relationship that used to be between them is ruined
Her and her lover are in a tub full of emotions and confusion. When she finally says I love you, her lover leaves and she is left alone, mad at herself for saying it.
She remembers when she left the faucet running and the words filled the bathetube at the top. She said a men she loves him and the words filled at the top, means he can't deal with her feelings and he will drown in them
I'm not absolutely sure on this but from her other songs about twisted childhood memories, this song may talk about how her parents didn't want to hear her say "love" because of emotional issues and punished her for it.
