Let it Go
Jonathan Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snow grows wild on the mountain side
Not a footprint to be seen
The 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 tried
Don't let them in Don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal Don't feel Don't let them know
Well now they know
Let it go Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
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
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
Let it go Let it go
I'm the one with the wind and sky
Let it go Let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the heaven to the ground
Snow is spiralling in frozen fractels all around
And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past
Let it go Let it go
And I'll rise like a break of dawn
Let it go Let it go
That perfect girl is gpne
Here I stand in the light of the day




Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Overall Meaning

In Jonathan Young's version of "Let it Go," he amplifies the emotion behind the lyrics from Disney's animated film "Frozen." He begins with the opening lines reminiscent of Elsa's mountain solitude, singing how "Snow grows wild on the mountain side. Not a footprint to be seen. The kingdom of isolation. And it looks like I'm the queen." His voice drips with sarcasm as he expresses how freely Elsa relishes in her self-imposed captivity.


In the chorus, Jonathan sings "Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door." This best embodies the theme of the song. Young encourages listeners to let go of regrets, fears, and societal expectations and remain true to themselves regardless of the cost. The lyrics convey the message of Elsa's personal liberation, a significant departure from the film's initial storyline of repression.


The remaining lyrics in the song reveal Elsa's new-found strength and resilience as she embraces her identity and powers. Young complements the lyrics with his powerful and breathy voice, intensifying the emotion behind every word. In the end, the song is a liberating anthem that empowers people to break free from their chains and live authentically.
