Let It Go
Embracing Liberation: Straight No Chaser's Frozen Anthem
Lyrics
Let it go let it go
Encouragement to release or relinquish something
Can’t hold it back anymore let it go
Unable to restrain anymore, urging to let go
Let it go turn my back and slam the door
Decisively letting go and shutting a chapter
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Describing the wintry landscape
Not a footprint to be seen
Absence of human presence in the snow
A kingdom of isolation
Feeling emotionally distant from the world
And it looks like I'm the queen
Sense of being in control despite isolation
The wind is howling like
Comparing inner turmoil to a fierce wind
The swirling storm inside
Internal turmoil matching external storm
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Struggling but failing to contain emotions
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Keeping personal struggles hidden from others
Be the good girl you always have to be
Expectation to conform to a 'good' image
Conceal, don’t feel don’t let them know
Suppressing emotions to avoid revelation
Well, now they know
Others now aware of concealed feelings
Let it go let it go
Reiteration of the need to release
Can’t hold it back anymore let it go
Continued inability to restrain emotions
Let it go turn my back and slam the door
Actively letting go and closing a chapter
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Commitment to the decision to remain distant
Let it go let it go
Reiteration of encouragement to let go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Claiming immunity to the emotional 'cold'
It’s funny how some distance
Reflecting on how distance changes perspectives
Makes everything seem small
Distance minimizes the significance of issues
And the fears that once controlled me
Freedom from past fears that once controlled
Can’t get to me at all
Emancipation from the grip of previous fears
Up here in the cold thin air
Feeling liberated in the high, cold altitude
I finally can breathe
Finally able to breathe freely in isolation
I know left a life behind
Acknowledging leaving a past life behind
But I’m too relieved to grieve
Relief outweighs the sorrow of leaving
Let it go let it go
Continued emphasis on the need to release
Can’t hold it back anymore let it go
Reiterating the inability to contain emotions
Let it go turn my back and slam the door
Closing a chapter decisively by letting go
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Commitment to standing firm in the decision
Let it go let it go
Repetition of encouragement to release
The cold never bothered me anyway
Reasserting immunity to emotional 'cold'
Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen
Being stuck in the choices made in life
You won't find me, the past is so behind me
Unreachable due to the past being left behind
Buried in the snow
Symbolic entrapment in the past
Let it go let it go
Reiteration of the need to let go
Can’t hold it back anymore let it go
Continued inability to restrain emotions
Let it go turn my back and slam the door
Decisively closing a chapter and moving on
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Commitment to stand firm in the decision
Let it go let it go
Reiteration of encouragement to release
The cold never bothered me anyway
Claiming immunity to emotional discomfort
