Frozen
3. For the First Time in Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wind-chapped, my compass leaves me lost
My path too tangled to unravel
The trail behind buried in frost
Frozen ground
I'm breaking with the path I'm making to my destination
Frozen ground
But the steps of my foot should be walking back to you
Can't be still, I must move forward
This night blizzard might be my last
I pray and spy a horizon blurred
Abandoned shelter, I must move fast
Frozen ground
I'm breaking with the path I'm making to my destination
Frozen ground
Aint delighted to be so near-sighted on the ground I've blighted
But the steps of my foot should be walking back to you
Frozen ground
I'm breaking with the path I'm making to my destination
Frozen ground
Aint delighted to be so near-sighted on the ground I've blighted
But the steps of my foot should be walking back to you
The lyrics to "Frozen Ground" by Van Halen are about a person who is lost in the snow and is trying to find their way back to someone they left behind. The opening lines describe the struggles of traveling in such harsh conditions, with the snow crushing underfoot and the wind leaving the singer lost. Despite the difficulty of their journey, the singer is determined to press on, even though their path is "too tangled to unravel" and the trail they've left behind is buried in frost.
As the song progresses, the singer's determination intensifies. They can't be still, even though they know the blizzard could be deadly. They spot an abandoned shelter in the distance but don't let themselves get too hopeful, knowing that they must take action and move fast if they want to survive. Throughout the song, the singer is constantly pushing themselves forward, even though their goal is difficult to see and the path is treacherous.

Anna: The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally they're opening up the gates
There'll be actual real live people
It'll be totally strange
But wow, am I so ready for this change
'Cause for the first time in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light
For the first time in forever
I'll be dancing through the night
Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone
Cause for the first time in forever
I won't be alone
I can't wait to meet everyone! (gasp)
What if I meet... the one?
Tonight imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
Ooh! I suddenly see him standing there
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
But then we laugh and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've lead so far
For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone
And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
At least I've got a chance
Elsa: Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Make one wrong move and everyone will know
Elsa: But it's only for todayย
Anna: It's only for today
Elsa: It's agony to wait
Anna: It's agony to wait
Elsa: Tell the guards to open up the gate
Anna: The gate
Anna For the first time in forever
Elsa: Don't let them in, don't let them see
Anna: I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
Elsa: Be the good girl you always have to be
Anna: A chance to change my lonely world
Elsa: Conceal
Anna: A chance to find true love
Elsa: Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Anna: I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today
'Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
Nothing's in my way!

The more things change, the more they stay the same (also, there's no one named Kristin(en) in RENT, for the record, and Take me or Leave me is probably the best in the musical.)
