1) a Canadian alternative rock band,
2) a Swedish electronic pop project,

1) Moist is a five-piece Canadian alternative rock band that was popular in the mid-to-late-1990s. The band is led by singer David Usher. Other members of the band are Mark Makoway (guitars), Francis Fillion (drums), Louis Lalancette (bass), Jonathan Gallivan (guitars) and Kevin Young (keyboards). Former members include Jeff Pearce (bass) and Paul Wilcox (drums).
Moist formed in the early 1990s and eventually released an independent cassette in 1993. The cassette caught the attention of EMI, who released their first full-length studio CD, Silver, in 1994. Producer Terry Brown (Rush, Blue Rodeo) was brought in to work on a few of the band's songs, and the album went on to sell 400,000 copies in Canada on the strength of hard-hitting singles like Push, Silver and Believe Me. The follow up, Creature, was released in 1996 to even greater success, with the band's sound maturing and fostering its softer side. A final studio album titled Mercedes 5 and Dime was released in 1999 which was softer and more melancholic than previous releases.

Theme From Cola
Moist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waste all the things we turned to dust
Simple if we would like to find
Punished by words I'm takin'
Finally pressed you'd like to know
Known for the trip unfolding
Pleasantries building as we go
Timid the way I'll take it
Now memory is over memories over
Are you still remembering
Never meant to go there
Are you still remembered
All through the dress I lie awake
Tearful as I've been binding
Only in your mind to make
Helpful or not I take it
Now memory is over memories over
Are you still remembering
Never meant to go there
Are you still remembered
The lyrics of Moist's song, "Theme From Cola," paint a picture of regret and wasted opportunities. It speaks of a legacy of waste, where things that were once meaningful have been turned to dust. The singer seems to be reflecting on the past, perhaps an experience or relationship that did not end well.
The lines, "punished by words I'm takin'," and "finally pressed you'd like to know," suggest that there was some conflict or miscommunication that led to the breakdown of the relationship. However, there is still a glimmer of hope as "pleasantries building as we go" and the singer is timid in taking the chance to mend things.
The chorus of the song reveals a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the singer wonders if the other person still remembers the past. "Now memory is over memories over, are you still remembering? Never meant to go there, are you still remembered?" The repetition of "memory is over" suggests that the singer is ready to move on but still ponders over what could have been.
Overall, the lyrics of "Theme From Cola" evoke a sense of melancholy and reflection on a past relationship that ended in regret. The singer seems to hold onto the hope that there may still be a chance to mend things.
