Do you want to build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play!
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
Do you want to build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman
Go away, Anna
Okay, bye
Do you want to build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls!
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
(tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock)
Elsa, please I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say, "have courage" and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you
Just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you want to build a snowman?
The lyrics of Singer's "Frozen" song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" is a conversation between the two sisters, Anna and Elsa. Anna tries to get her sister Elsa to come out of her room and play with her. Elsa, who has secluded herself in her room due to her powers, refuses to step out, as she fears hurting her sister again. The song is an emotional tug of war between the two sisters, who used to be inseparable until Elsa's powers got in the way.
The song's beginning shows Anna being happy and excited to have someone to play with, but as the song progresses, her excitement turns into concern and desperation as Elsa ignores her. Anna is hurt by Elsa's decision to leave her and break their sisterly bond. By the end of the song, Anna is pleading with Elsa to come out and play with her, as she knows that she and her sister only have each other.
This song's lyrics portray the struggles of growing up, relationships, and emotional turmoil that can come with it. The underlying theme of change and the feeling of growing apart is present in this song, as Elsa's powers have created a distance between the sisters. However, there is an acknowledgment that even though this change has occurred, they still love and need each other. This song is an excellent representation of the power of familial love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
