Let it go!

Recently a friend mentioned that considering my current situation the song 'Let it Go' reminded her of me, this got me thinking and when you actually listen to the words of the song its quite sad.

Now my cousins little girl loves Frozen and dances around to all of the songs, like many young girls go, but have you ever really listened to the lyrics and can you relate to them?

That's why I am a huge fan of Disney films, when you are young there great, you can get captured in a fantasy world and when you are a little older you can still appreciate them and see a real life situation that they are trying to portray, for example Snow White, now I know there aren't little dwarfs living in the woods in real life but it teaches you about trust, strangers and being deceived. When Snow White is given the apple she trusts the old lady, little did she know she was actually trying to deceive her!

I bet if you think about your favourite Disney films you will find some sort of hidden adult lesson in the story.

I know this is very random, but maybes you have a child, or a child in your family that loves Frozen and has probably sang the song 'let it Go' to death but have you actually took the time to listen to the lyrics and the message behind them?

I have included the lyrics below and can you relate to them at all?

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

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

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

It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all

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!

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on

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

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on

The cold never bothered me anyway!
