LET IT GO's TRUE MEANING!

Everyone knows that this is a big hit internationally! All kids sing it all the time all over the world! But do they know what it actually means? The songwriters Bobby and Kristen-Anderson Lopez did put a really good meaning in this song about being yourself and letting the things that pulled you back go!


Meaning: Italic letters
Original Lyrics: Bolded letters

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
Right now I am alone, I can't see anyone in my view

A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.
I feel so isolated... Am I responsible for this?

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
This is traumatizing and bothering me!

I tried to control it, but heaven knows I've tried...

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Don't mess up! Stay perfect!

Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know!
I have to keep myself inside, conceal it! But now I let it go!

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, Let it go

Can’t hold it back anymore
Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, Let it go

Turn away and slam the door
The past is put in the past

I don’t care
What they’re going to say
I don't care! What they're going to say!

Let the storm rage on,
Let things swish past me,

The cold never bothered me anyway
Because they truly never bothered me anyway

It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
It's funny how little things could change a person's view

And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all

It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
Let's test my power and strength and see what I can do!

No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free!
I have no limitations, I can go for my dream, I'm free!

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

I am one with the wind and sky
I'm connected with my inner side

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, Let it go

You’ll never see me cry
I'm brave now

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
I'm standing tall, with my chin up high. Nothing will break me

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm connecting with what I can do, I feel unlimited and free. 
I’m never going back,
I don't want to live my same mistakes,

The past is in the past!
The past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, Let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn
I'm more confident than ever

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, Let it go

That perfect girl is gone
I'm a new and improved human being

Here I stand
I stand tall

In the light of day
Where no shadow is casted on me, no isolation

Let the storm rage on!,
Let it swish past me!,

The cold never bothered me anyway
My power is unlimited just like me

:D
