Let It Go By Idina Menzel Interpretation

I would like to interpret to you today one of my favorite Disney songs, “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel

[Verse 1]
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I’ve tried

Snow implies something cold or sad. She is basically saying that she is the queen of sadness.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

When you are sad, no matter how hard you hide it, sometimes the truth will eventually come out.

[Chorus 1]
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

She is accepting the truth (her sadness) and making something out of it

[Verse 2]
It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all

When we feel lonely, sometimes we should keep some distance to get a new perspective that could make us happy again.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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!

She is becoming a glass-half-full person here.

[Bridge]
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past

Again, she is recognizing the upside of her situation which, in turn, makes her happy.

Let me know what you think on the comments section!
