Soap Direction
Chase Huglin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laying on your floor
Right next to your bedside
I'll ask you if I
Should be on my way
You say stay
You say stay
Show me a church
'Cause it's what you thought we need
Filled up the scripture
And I felt the need to leave
Least that's what I beleave
That's what I believe
That's what I get
For asking you for a midnight dance
In your room alone
And that's what I get
Falling in love with you
I told you that I needed my space
Ran out of words
I have nothing left to say
Thinking all day mmm, mmm
I been thinking all day
That's what I get
For asking you for a midnight dance
In your room alone
And that's what I get
Falling in love with you
The song "Soap Direction" by Chase Huglin tells the story of a complicated relationship where the singer is torn between his desire for independence and his love for his partner. He wakes up on the cold floor next to his partner's bed and contemplates leaving, but she asks him to stay. He then asks for guidance, suggesting they go to church, but he cannot reconcile his conflicting feelings and decides to leave. The singer then reflects on his mistakes, regretting asking for a "midnight dance" that led to falling in love with his partner.
The lyrics are poetic and intimate, capturing the emotional complexity of the singer's struggles. The imagery of waking up on a cold floor and asking for guidance through church suggests a sense of confusion and uncertainty, while the repetition of "that's what I get" conveys a sense of regret and self-blame. The song's mix of acoustic guitar and electronic beats creates a melancholy yet uplifting tone that matches the lyrical content.
