Moisture Lyrics

Someone saw a strange amount
Of moisture on her lips
And it was also seen upon
Her arms and on her hips

No one knows exactly
Who she was or how she died
But when they opened up her purse
They found a snail inside

She was raped on a wet lawn. A snail crawled into her purse from the grass.

I'd like to think the moisture came from the snail, like she was rubbing it around her body like a weirdo and it released a toxin that killed her.

I think it takes place during an autopsy, and that the woman either drowned or was dumped in a body of water.

Personally, I believe "Moisture" isn't about someone dead at all. It's about a girl, who people see. And they think she's kinda strange. They don't really know how she came to be that way, but somehow, she just exists.

Even though it says that she died?

Maybe. I don't really know for sure, but "death" in this song could be a metaphor or symbol for something else. I know that a lot of songwriters like to use something that seems to have a really obvious meaning (like saying that she died) but really means something else.

What it means in this case, however, I don't pretend to know.
