Here's all I was able to get from "Rilkean Heart",
just adding a bit onto what we know already:

Rilkean heart I looked for you to give me
transcendent experiences, to transport me out of
(something) and alienation into a sense of oneness
and connection, ecstatic and magical, I became
a junkie for it (something like "come looking for
the next high" but it's not all that clear)

the rest of the song is not at all easy to make out.
i think there's a few "I'm sorry you're confused"
and possibly a mention of their daughter.

Now, the burning question (and here's where I show my
ingorance) is: who the heck is Rilke? I figured "Rilkean" was
just another made up Cocteau term.

Rainer Maria Rilke is a fabulous german poet who wrote in the early 20th
century.  of many things he was concerned with the process (and purpose?)
of the aritist.....blahblah.  anyway, i recommend Das Buch der Bilder
(the book of images) or any of his works....

elegies, a series of peoms which insipred the film wings of desire.
