Analyzing the Meaning of the Lyrics of the Song Titled 'Let it Go'

Background

Elsa sings this song when she is alone in a snowy mountain. She has a unique ability that is also considered dangerous, namely controlling or creating ice at will. After hiding this from society for so long, she accidentally 'revealed' her disgrace in public on one occasion.

This frightened the eyewitnesses, some even accused her of being a dangerous witch. Bursting with guilt, shame, and fear, Elsa then ran away and isolated herself in a place far from society. It was at that moment that Elsa finally sang 'Let It Go' to vent about the mixed feelings inside her.

This song sung by Idina Menzel can be popular no doubt because of the success achieved by the film FROZEN. As a Broadway actress and singer, Indina Menzel's voice is excellent. This three-minute song is indeed very easy to listen to and catchy. This is why people love it.

Does the Song 'Let it Go' Have the Impression of Being Related to Human Life in the Real World?

The answer is yes. ‘Let it Go’ is not sung solely as a soundtrack for the film FROZEN, but is also a story from Elsa (as explained earlier). In the song Let it go, there are two simple but important messages conveyed through the song, namely: We must be able to be ourselves and express ourselves freely.

let it go, let it go!

Can't hold it back any more.

let it go, let it go!

Turn away and slam the door.

I don't care what they're going to say.

Let the storm rage on.

The cold never bothered me anyway.

In the chorus, Elsa finally decides to let go of all her secrets, burdens and worries by being herself. She no longer cares about the views of other people who already know her 'disgrace'.

The lyric fragment of Let the storm rage on itself explains that Elsa is not afraid or anymore with people's anger or hatred towards her. She then added that she was used to feeling cold to live alone, which was expressed in the passage 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

It's time to see what I can do,

to test the limits and break through.

No right, no wrong, no rules for me.

I'm free!

In the second verse, Elsa reinforces the fact that she is now free from the shackles of fear that used to control her. She wants to do whatever she wants and break through her normal limits. Regardless of right and wrong, Elsa seems to illustrate that there are no more rules that can govern her. She is free to express herself.

Conclusion

The earlier lyrical pieces may be viewed by some as a defiant or rebellious stance. But as humans, we do have the right to say what's on our minds, and what we want. Although sometimes we do have to break the boundaries of normal rules. Even though other people may look bad and don't like what we do, we must still live according to what we want.
