Spice And Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Knocking: Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock)
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on lets 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
I wish you would tell me why!-
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman.
Go away, Anna
Okay, bye...
(Knocking)
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls-
(Hang in there, Joan!)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms,
Just watching the hours tick by-
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)
(Orchestral)
(Knocking)
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 wanna build a Snowman?
The above lyrics are actually not from the Spice and Company's song Do You Wanna Reggae Man. Instead, they are from the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from the Disney movie Frozen. The song is sung by the character Anna, who is trying to reconnect with her older sister Elsa, who has become distant and isolated after accidentally revealing her magical ice powers to the kingdom. Anna reminisces about the close relationship she and Elsa shared before the incident, and desperately tries to get Elsa to come out of her room and reconnect with her.
The lyrics showcase the sorrowful emotions of Anna, who misses her sister and is desperate to reconnect with her. She tries several times to get Elsa to come out and play with her, but Elsa refuses as she is scared of hurting Anna with her powers. The lyrics also highlight the loneliness and isolation Elsa feels, as she shuts herself away from the world to protect herself and others.
Overall, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" is a poignant and emotional song about the bond between two sisters and the importance of communication and understanding in maintaining relationships.
