Rapunzel
Harpyie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ein Fräulein lebte einst allein
In einem Turm voll wüster Pein
Sie träumte von der fernen Welt
Von Liebe, Schönheit, Ruhm und Geld

Von ihrem Turm sah sie von fern
Den Reiter kommen sie zu frei′n
Doch was sie nicht sah, sein Gesicht
War knochenbleich und widerlich

Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Dann bist auch du verlor'n

Gehüllt in dichten Nebelrauch
Nimmt so das Schicksal seinen Lauf
Das schöne Kind so jung und rein
Wird bald nicht mehr das selbe sein

Rapunzel, lass dein Haar hernieder
Bin hier zu brechen deine Glieder
Bin hier zu schänden deinen Leib
Das ist mein schönster Zeitvertreib

Geruch von faulem toten Fleisch
Steigt nun herauf vom Weltenreich
Das Fräulein schließt die Augen zu
Stürzt sich herab zur letzten Ruh

Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Dann bist auch du verlor′n
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Hinunter in das Erdengrab




Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Dann bist auch du verlor'n

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Harpyie's song "Rapunzel" tell the tale of a young woman who lives alone in a tower and dreams of escaping to the outside world. She sees a rider approaching her tower, hoping that he has come to rescue her from her loneliness, but she cannot see his face as he is wearing a mask. The lyrics take a dark turn as the rider reveals himself to be a vile character who plans to defile Rapunzel. The verses paint a picture of a disturbing and violent encounter that leaves Rapunzel with no hope of ever escaping her tower.


The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab" ("Rapunzel, let down your hair"), referencing the traditional fairy tale of Rapunzel, in which the heroine lets down her long hair so that her prince can climb up to her tower. However, in this song, the request has a sinister tone and is used to manipulate and control Rapunzel. The lyrics create a sense of hopelessness and despair as the young woman is trapped in her tower and ultimately meets a tragic end.


Overall, the lyrics of "Rapunzel" explore themes of loneliness, manipulation, and abuse of power. The dark and haunting melody of the song adds to the sense of foreboding and unease that pervades the lyrics.
