Molly wrote this song and put this explanation on the official Mountain Man website:
"Soft Skin is a series of questions following the first line of the song, 'I’ve got soft skin, are you gonna let me in?'
It plays off the associations between women, their soft skin, and vulnerability, or openness within (sexual) relationships (Molly’s generalization). Soft Skin is meant to question the origins and entaglements of the desire for violence in sex (socialization?), as well as the blurry lines between love, lust and gender roles as played out through ‘intimacy’. Enjoy."
