For the First Time in Forever
Kristen Bell & Santino Fontana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
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
But it's only for today
It's only for today
It's agony to wait
It's agony to wait
Tell the guards to open up the gate
The gate
For the first time in forever (don't let them in)
(Don't let them see) I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
Be the good girl you always have to be
A chance to change my lonely world
Conceal
A chance to find true love
Conceal, don't feel
Don't let them know
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, ooh!
The lyrics to Kristen Bell's song For the First Time in Forever are from the Disney movie Frozen, where the character Anna sings about her excitement to finally leave the castle after being alone for so long, and to be able to interact with other people. The lines "The window is open! So's that door! I didn't know they did that anymore! Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?" building up excitement for Anna, making her feel like a normal person for the first time as she had forgotten about these small everyday items. The castle was closed off for many years after Elsa's powers caused chaos in the town, leading Anna to feel trapped.
The song builds up as Anna imagines what it will be like finally to be with real people playing music, seeing the light, and dancing throughout the night. She is dreaming of falling in love, feeling like it's possible now that she has the chance to meet new people. However, Anna is also afraid of being rejected or judged by others, deciding to conceal her true feelings and put on a show to fit in. The song ends with Anna's determination to live in the moment and enjoy her freedom while it lasts before she has to take on her perceived responsibilities.
