Let it Go
Stars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's been a lot of talk of love
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evolve the stars above
But that doesn't make it something

And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love
And let go when you give it, give it

It's a pretty melody
It might help you through the night time
But it doesn't make it easy
To leave the party at the right time

If I'm frightened, if I'm high
It's my weakness please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love
And I let go when I give it, give it, give it

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it
What do I do?

The world won't listen to this song
And the radio won't play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it, give it, give it

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do?

I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me

I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it
Give it
Give it
Give it
Give it




Give it
Give it

Seems like a lot of people don’t do figure skating or don’t know FS.

This is NOT a program for a competition, this is an exhibition program, as in, just for fun. In competition it is necessary to jump and do a certain number of elements... but in exhibition you can do whatever you want (you can jump if you want, use objects, which isn’t allowed on a competitive program, etc.)


Reason why some skaters don’t jump on competition is because;
1.Sometimes it’s very dark, and it’s difficult to jump if you can barely see where you are (even with that light following you around, sometimes it’s less bright)

2. If it’s not necessary, why do it? Jumping leaves you exhausted, it is also a bigger risk of injury... it’s just a bother if you don’t really want to add it, and with how dark it is you can probably fall.

Of course, some skaters do add jumps to their exhibitions, but others don’t. I know jumps seem to be easy, but even for someone trained to do them they can be pretty tiring. Yes, they look good and all that, but she didn’t NEED to add them, so she didn’t do it :D
