The Flaming Lips – Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung Lyrics 14 years ago
Pompeii am Götterdämmerung

is supposed to mean "Pompeii at the Twilight of the Gods", but is grammatically incorrect German.

It should be "Pompeii an der Götterdämmerung"

I somehow doubt that Mikael has ever raped his daughter.

Opeth – A Fair Judgement Lyrics 14 years ago
What do you mean by ESL songs? English as a Second Language? That would make since, but I think these songs should be dissected. Mikael speaks better English and can write better poetry in English than most "EFL" people, if you catch my drift.

Porcupine Tree – Trains Lyrics 14 years ago
Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head

-- He's borrowing his cousin's bed, waiting for the arrival of a loved one by train. He can hear the train pull up from where he's sleeping.

Always the summers are slipping away

-- This has become a summer ritual.

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, a radiant blur

-- The train crashes? I don't know, this part is difficult to interpret. Train engines weigh far more than 60 tons usually, but I can't decide what else he could possibly be talking about.

Scars in the country, the summer and her

-- Train tracks cutting through the country, he spends the summers with a loved one.

Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay

-- Pretty self-explanatory

When I hear the engine pass
I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides
I'm in luck

-- He has just picked someone up at the station and is "kissing her wide" at the same time the train is taking off again. So when the hissing subsides, it's actually the noise from the train getting farther and farther away from the two of them.

When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK

-- So they go back to the bed he is borrowing from his cousin and when the evening reaches, they get it on. But the songwriter has since lost this particular person, and so the evening also means her death. When the evening reaches here, "you're tying me up". During the actual evenings together she would tie him to the bed, but her death has tied him to the train tracks. Either way, he's dying of/for her love. But ultimately he has accepted it and tried to move on.

No, his cousin is not supposed to be in the room. He's simply borrowing his cousin's room. I heard the sound from my cousin's bed: this means he was in his cousin's bed alone, not that he heard a sound coming from his cousin's bed.
