Dreiklangsdimensionen
Rheingold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Auftakt
im Takt
im Viertakt
soll es klingen

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,
Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.

Farbton
Halbton
und synchron
dazu schwingen

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,
Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.

Wohlklang-
Illusionen,
die um uns
herum tanzen

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,
Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.

Klänge
für Millionen
Überwinden
die Distanzen.

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,
Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.

Ausklang
Abgang
Sequenzen
ohne Grenzen.

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,
Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,
Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.

Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll,

Lichtspielimpressionen
sind farbvoll.





Dreiklangsdimensionen
sind taktvoll.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rheingold's song Dreiklangsdimensionen are rather simple but contain rich meaning. The song speaks of the beauty and power of music and how it can be used to transcend physical and emotional boundaries, leading to an otherworldly experience. The recurrent theme of the song is the idea of Dreiklangsdimensionen or "triad dimensions," which refer to the harmonious interplay between the three elements of music: rhythm, melody, and harmony.


The first lines of the song set the mood for what is to follow by emphasizing the importance of the right rhythm and tempo to create the desired effect. The subsequent lines go on to describe how the "triad dimensions" of music are "rhythmical" and "colorful," creating an experience that is not just auditory but visual as well. The use of the words "Wohlklang-Illusionen" or "sweet-sounding illusions" and "Lichtspielimpressionen" or "light and color impressions" further emphasize the idea of music as a transcendent experience that can affect both the senses and the emotions.


The last lines of the lyrics speak of how music can overcome distance and limitations, leading to an endless sequence of sounds, without any restrictions or boundaries. The overall message of the song is that music is a force that can bring people together and create a shared experience that is both powerful and transformative.
