Let It Go (Idina Menzel cover) Lyrics

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling
Like the swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in
Heaven knows I tried...

Don’t let them in
Don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal
Don’t feel
Don’t let them know...
Well now they know!

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand and here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air
I finally can breathe
I know left a life behind
But I’m too relieved to grieve

Let it go! Let it go!
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go! Let it go!
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand and here I’ll stay
Let it go! Let it go!
The cold never bothered me anyway

Standing
Frozen
In the life I’ve chosen
You won’t
Find me,
The past is so behind me
Buried
In the snow

Let it go! Let it go!
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go! Let it go!
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand and here I’ll stay
Let it go! Let it go!
The cold never bothered me anyway

Let it go
Here I stand
Let it go! Let it go!
Let it go

So let's begin.

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen, A kingdom of icealtion And it looks like I'm the queen, The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried"

She wants to escape reality, into her own world, where she can be the boss of herself. But her emotions carry over.

"Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be, Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know, Well now they know"

She was always taught to suppress her emotions, and so, suffered a life with bottled up emotions. But they didn't do her any good. Because her bottles leaked. But in that, she learned that her emotions could be let free.

"Let it go, Let it go Cant hold it back anymore Let it go, Let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, Let it go The cold never bothered me anyway"

She is fine with letting go of her emotions, because they've always wanted to be free. She doesn't care if people don't accept her for who she is. Because she was always taught to blend in, but that isn't the kind of person she is. She's fine being by herself, because at least then, she can let her emotions run amok.

"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all Up here in the cold-thin air, I finally can breathe I know I left a life behind, but I'm to relieved to grieve"

Once she distanced herself from the situation that was her life, she is in control of her own life. She doesn't have to listen to anybody else. She doesn't have to be anybody else. She doesn't have to fit in anymore. She can be herself, but that would mean leaving her old life behind, the one that caused her so much anguish, but she's fine with that.

"Standing, Frozen In the life of chosen, You won't find me, The past is all behind me Buried in the storm"

She is able to stand tall in a world that doesn't accept her. But it doesn't affect her. Because nobody has the power to have control over you and what you feel and fear, unless you give it to them. And that power is hers and belongs to nobody else.
