There's a song called by コレサワ that I really like, and for the most part, the lyrics are very understandable. There's one lyric that appears a few times that has me a little stumped. Here are the first two verses:

かにった

きそうなしてた

だけれどやっぱかないんだね

そういうとこがいだった

かに

しかった

せたいといながらいつも

おかしをべてってた

そういうとこがきだった


I understannd the general gist of these lines, but the そういうとこ part makes no sense to me. I even thought it was そういうこと (which made sense to me) until I looked up the lyrics, haha. I learned that とこ is a colloquial abbreviation of ところ and have seen a few example sentences with そういうところ in them, but I don't really understand what it means or how to use it. Any help is appreciated!

My understanding (which could be wrong) is:

そういうとこ and そういうところ mean "that kind of thing"

そういう (that kind of) + とこ (thing/situation)

とこ here is basically doing the same thing you would expect こと to do

So,

そういうとこがいだった -> I hated that kind of thing/situation

そういうとこがきだった -> I liked that kind of thing/situation

Wait, so とこ and こと the same in those types of situations? If it is, then whats the difference?

ところ has it's own grammar rules, and has possible meanings that differ from the grammar rules, and possible meanings of こと , but I believe (again I could be wrong), in this specific instance they would both basically mean "thing"
