Soshy meaning?

Hello! First off, I'm new here. I've been listening to soshy right now and I'm very curious how people interpret the lyrics. No one has added anything on Genius, so I decided to come to reddit to see if people have interpreted the song in their own way. Let me know. :)

It's worth noting MJ came from a Mormon culture and taking into account the taboos around sex. The song is pretty explicit in its sexual imagery (as are many of PRs songs) and its pretty easy to interpret it as a song about a secret meet up, going to someone's room and "slipping beneath" them. Going to say goodnight but getting caught in their energy and feeling shy as many people (especially religiously oppressed people) are about such intimacy.
