On the surface, the sinister, almost tribal sounding beat, combined with the vague lyrics and the line "only a crazy little thing I read", makes me think that this is a guy who knows the truth behind some mass conspiracy or secret but can't outright tell the person/people he's speaking to so he resorts to being cryptic.
What is the secret then? Unfortunately I'm getting a lot of heterosexual undertones with the non-chorus lyrics and it makes me think that the song is merely about the differences between men and women and courting. I wish this song were about more than that old thing. Would be better if the song were about society or something spooky, but after reading and re-reading the non-chorus lyrics I really do think it's just about sex.
"There is a song, you're trembling to its tune, at the request of the moon. Licking her chops, she looks at the lunatics. She needs another fix." A lady goes to a party/club/whatnot at night with the intention of picking up a guy. She's caught up in the MOONlight, the lunatics are men who are acting indecent and swarming her.
"Maybe the planets are trying to become the stars and we really came from Mars. The Earth is alive and man is a parasite, and heavenly bodies make us fight." Men are from Mars (and women are from Venus, you've heard this) and apparently they're sort of like parasites during the sex act. Men and women are different so they fight. Cheesy, right?
So the speaker then is someone who sees flirting and sex for what they are-- an ancient and primitive ritual that compels everybody to act weird without acknowledging how weird the whole thing is. The speaker too is a sexual being and asks himself, despite his self-awareness, why he does what he does ("Wadu-aidu-wadaidu").
Kinda boring after I figured this out to be honest. Still a good song though!
