Moon Palace Lyrics
A stolen kiss, a moment to run free
The veil drops in an instant to reveal a flashback
A postcard from a distant dream
Moon palace
On a frozen sea
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling you again
Serpent sea has landed and is crashing at your feet
As city canyons fade into the night
A jagged landscape in a sodium haze
Breaks away from the sky
To shelter sparkling eyes
A stolen kiss sends electricity
It trips a switch for a moment to reveal a vision
A picture of a shared dream
Moon palace
On a frozen sea
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling you again
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea has landed and is crashing at your feet
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling you again
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling you again
The serpent sea has landed and is crashing at your feet.
Moon palace
On a frozen sea
The veil drops in an instant to reveal a flashback
A postcard from a distant dream
On a frozen sea
The serpent sea is calling you again
Serpent sea has landed and is crashing at your feet
A jagged landscape in a sodium haze
Breaks away from the sky
To shelter sparkling eyes
It trips a switch for a moment to reveal a vision
A picture of a shared dream
On a frozen sea
The serpent sea is calling you again
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea has landed and is crashing at your feet
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling you again
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling out your name
The serpent sea is calling you again
The serpent sea has landed and is crashing at your feet.
On a frozen sea

What is this about?
I was just learning about David Icke and his theories about the moon, and this kinda made me look at these lyrics in a different light.
The Serpent sea is a geographic region in on the moon. Moon Palace is a novel's about a protagonist who is doing self discovery, and that he feels like "his life begins" in the ending (of the novel)--more like to do with self-awareness. There is a theory that implies that the moon is an artificial satellite "disguised" as an organic rock. This theory claims that the moon is a tool of "control" (mental and/or surveillance) built by sentient beings, known or identified in various esoteric accounts.
Interesting song. I don't know what these lyrics are about either, but the idea of the moon being disguised as an organic rock (if it were actually an artificial satellite) is interesting. (though I know it's not true, I'm using it as an example of what the other person wrote) I never read the novel, but for some reason, this song seems to be associated (at least a little bit) with the new age era. Certain images in Ladytron songs stir in my head visions of spiritual awareness and the universe.
If this song does have any esoteric message, I would say that it means that any individual can transcend everyday occurrences to find some sort of spirituality within the universe (perhaps I'm attaching my pantheistic views on this song) regardless of whether or not certain aspects aren't actually cooked up to be what they seem. (ex: the moon being an artificial satellite instead of a rock).
Times change, so we should learn how to adapt to the newer age as it progresses. You learn to see more than just the science behind the moon, stars, planets etc and find that humans are star formations. It sounds ridiculous, but it's really not. There are certain things in the universe humans are unaware of, so we might as well let things be.
People have a funny way of trying to find literal meanings in songs, and it's pointless, because while songs may deliver literal meanings, you can't actually 'see' through the soul of the one who wrote a specific song--only the person who wrote the song can know 100% what it means which is why songmeanings exists.
Those are my two cents. As I said, I don't know what these lyrics are about. I took a guess.
