Cracked LCD Lyrics
cracked LCD
(from here a scope)
back to summertime
it was almost six months to the day
eyes clock to his hand
liquid crystals on his watch catch rays
of morning peeking through
moving the pillows out of the way
tries to make the time
falls asleep with his watch on again
cracked LCD
he has got
the last years summertime, the one she liked
on Daylight Savings Time
hoping that the world will catch up with him
before he catches her
it happens once a year, she'd better run
was summertime for all
alpine retreat off the A40
cracked LCD
we're rising out of the slopes
plastic snow and wooden trees surround
she thought they had it all
putting curtains of the dreamy face
seeming off the globe
waiting for a spark to start the fire
cracked LCD
it was almost six months to the day
eyes clock to his hand
liquid crystals on his watch catch rays
of morning peeking through
moving the pillows out of the way
tries to make the time
falls asleep with his watch on again
the last years summertime, the one she liked
on Daylight Savings Time
hoping that the world will catch up with him
before he catches her
it happens once a year, she'd better run
was summertime for all
alpine retreat off the A40
plastic snow and wooden trees surround
she thought they had it all
putting curtains of the dreamy face
seeming off the globe
waiting for a spark to start the fire

This song reminds me of the classic book "Momo", about how scary men steal the time of the world in the "Time Savings Bank." First off, and LCD is a sort of projection screen, and this song is about a very elaborate projection. It is kept up by a man persuing a woman. He times everything, and he never takes off his watch (even as he sleeps. Daylight savings time often is like a Time Savings Bank, you allocate time and end up with more or less. The man in the song is perhaps an hour early, trying to quickly court a girl. He times himself, everything is overplanned. He is a sinister character, and the alpine retreat is merely a facade where he keeps his new girlfriend. There, he controls on the seasons and all else, successfully controlling the world. Now it is winter, and the girl thinks she has it all: perfect guy, vacationing at an Alpine retreat. When she notices the retreat is a facade (the cracked LCD) she seeks to confront him in a fiery rage. There the song ends. Erm, that is all. CHOW! And don't touch the sushi.

Good analysation ^^. I think that sums it up well.
a lot of songs on light + magic are about illusions, youth and technology. I think this song relates to seventeen in a way, and Blue Jeans.
this reminds me of a flashback, dreamy feeling and all..
I think it could be about how men??? or people see the past better then the future or better yet the present. I havent really got a clue.
