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 The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
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
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

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.

Line by Line Meaning
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

Lyrics
Putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes, you make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair; pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air; it feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume for you
Make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning; I'd rather be numb (rather be numb)
And there's no one else to blame (no one else to blame)
So scared, I take off, and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into fla-fla-flames
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack-tack
I think I'd have a heart attack (oh, I think I'd have a heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack
