Let It Go
Demi Lovato(데미 로바토) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen
Couldn’t keep it in
Heaven knows I try
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you 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 you 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 all behind me
Buried in the snow
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you 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
The lyrics to "Let It Go" by Demi Lovato (Children's) are about letting go of the past and freeing oneself from the constraints of societal expectations.

She turns her back and slams the door, indicating a bold move to leave the past behind and start anew.
The setting of the song is in a kingdom of isolation, where the singer feels like she's the queen. She's surrounded by snow and there's no one else in sight. The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside her, indicating a sense of turmoil and inner conflict. She couldn't keep it in and heaven knows she tried, suggesting that she's been holding on to something for a long time.
The chorus "Let it go, let it go, can't hold you back anymore" is a powerful statement of freedom and release. The singer has been living her life according to what others expect of her, but now she's breaking free. She stands in the snow, letting go of her past and embracing her true self.

Let it go, let it go
Release the past and move forward
Can’t hold it back anymore
Unable to resist change any longer
Turn my back and slam the door
Closing the chapter on the past
The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
A picture of isolation and tranquility
Not a footprint to be seen
A lack of human interaction or involvement
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen
A depiction of the isolated situation
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
A reflection of internal turmoil
Couldn’t keep it in
Unable to contain the emotions any longer
Heaven knows I try
Despite the efforts made to hold back the emotions
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Keeping the emotions hidden from others
Be the good girl you always had to be
Continuing with the expectations set for oneself
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Burying the emotions deep within
Well now they know
Finally expressing the true emotions
And here I stand
Facing the situation head-on
And here I’ll stay
Committing to the decision made
The cold never bothered me anyway
Unaffected by external factors
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
The situation appears less significant with distance
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
No longer held back by fear
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
A sense of freedom and relief
I know left a life behind but I’m too relieved to grieve
Moving forward without regret
Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen
Feeling trapped in one's past decisions
You won’t find me, the past is all behind me
Detached from past experiences
Buried in the snow
Left behind and forgotten
Let it go
Release the past and move forward

When we were kids first time watching the first Frozen film, we were only jamming to the song and acting like Elsa while running in the hallways and twirling your hands pretending there was snow coming out from it.
Now, we realise that as teenagers/adults, the lyrics of the song are deep and relatable, that you listen to it with tears cascading on your cheeks because you miss your childhood, when you were carefree and didn't even care to comprehend the true meaning of the song... unlike now.
Edit: OH HEY IT'S 2022 and I wish for everyone to be safe, healthy, and happy ^_^ we may not know each other but I hope that the nostalgia, may it be a sad or happy childhood nostalgia, that Let It Go brings to us will always be forever etched in our hearts as a reminder of our innocent past. Can't believe this'll almost be nine years ago— everything flies so fast. May you "Let Go" all your grudges and pain from the previous years this 2022. Happy New Year everyone, and best of luck to you and your family & friends!!<33
P.S. I still do the twirling thing even if I'm not really in that age and maturity to do it anymore lol > . <
[ EDIT 2023: hey guys, it's me again. i hope y'all who will find this comment will be blessed with a healthy, happy life with your loved ones this year. you got this. you were able to 'let go' of your pain, misfits, and mistakes last 2022. i wish you luck this year my dear reader, please stay strong and kind. do not be afraid to still unleash your inner child :)) you got this! time flies so fast, frozen turns 10 years this year!! happy 2023 eveyone!
