Let It Go is a song by South Korean singer/model Mi Sun Kim . It was originally written and composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and recorded by Idina Menzel for the Disney animated musical , Frozen . Over 40 different versions have been made of the song and K-Pop singer Mi Su released hers on May 20th , 2014 , with all new lyrics written by herself and a different theme .
Unlike all of the other versions of the song , Mi Su's is not based on the movie Frozen but on life in general , touching on the themes of suicide , religion and love . She exclusively explains the meaning and aim of the remake on Mi-Mi's official website .
Mi Su wrote:After watching Frozen and hearing the song [Let It Go] everywhere , the phrase "let it go" really spoke to me like I'm sure it did everyone else . I feel like I really loved the theme and lyrics of the original and Demi Lovato's version so much already but there was still so many things that could be said with such a phrase . So one day while flying to New York , I whipped out my pen and paper and began to write .
I was deeply inspired by many things that have taken place in my life , from a fire that burned away everything I had as a child to deaths in my family and to love that never lasted beyond grade school . I feel as if in this life , nothing is truly ever "meant to be" but that everything is meant to have an ending of some kind . As humans , we have no real "forever" ... it's just a figment of our imagination . That's because one day we will all die and be separated from the very ones we've promised our "forever" to . Then there are times where we depend and devote our lives to materialistic things . Whether it be our finances when money isn't made to be reserved , it's made to spent and in a lot of cases lost . Or maybe something like a house when physically , nothing is really indestructible because even something like stainless steel could be stained .
As humans , one thing we have a tendency to do with our feelings is to latch them onto something of this world that we have no control over . Then , the minute we realize that that something can never be ours "forever" , we lose all hope and faith in everything we love , assuming that one day love is ultimately going to hurt us or that a "higher power" doesn't love us enough to let us experience it . Thoughts like those could drive us to do crazy things to ourselves . I wanted to make a song dedicated to such . That talked about the reality of things and the pros and cons that come along with it .
"In a world full of odds , there'll be a normality ." In a world revolving around the media and entertainment , we're used to these stories that have happy endings . Where instead of what usually happens , the good of it all pops up and takes over . But sometimes bad things will happen . Sometimes they will spin as far away as it is able to from a happy ending and will end up being a loose end where pain just pours out . That doesn't mean it is the end of happy endings for you but a lot of people react in that way .
In time , the troubles you face will slip your mind ..." I've had a lot of bad days in my life and have had a lot of fears and enemies and fiends ... and I can probably only tell you one or two vague stories of some of my worst . We live in the moment and we hardly ever think about the future but there will come a day where you will forget the bane of the things weighing you down now and even if not , there will come a day where it will be hard for you to remember the pain . I think this is an important thing to say especially to victims of bullying . I know it has nothing to do with the song but I was picked on a lot as a child because even I looked ... weird and I can't name not one of those kids who I used to devote my time to avoiding in the hallways , cafeterias and classrooms .
"At least you're still breathing ." Sometimes , that's all you need .
[Intro] Let it go , let it go Just let the past float away Let it go , let it go Don't let the pain just sit and weigh
[Verse 1] Even as humans we're made to die and decay Even our feelings are made to fade away Nothing in this world was ever made to stay Getting too attached was your first mistake
[Pre Hook] Don't see how it's fair that you could be so young And still lose everything you've learned to love Don't question the love of the higher one Just hold back your tongue
[Hook] And let it go , let it go It was never made to stay Let it go , let it go It was never meant to be In a world full of odds There'll be a normality Let it go , let it go At least you're still breathing
[Verse 2] Sad that when you got it all , you never know what you have There's people out there who don't have a love to lose Kids battling for their life and not a family to cheer them on You don't even know the half
[Hook] So let it go , let it go It was never made to stay Let it go , let it go It was never meant to be In a world full of odds There'll be a normality Let it go , let it go At least you're still breathing
[Bridge] Don't see how you could be so young and ready to give up on life There's so much you haven't experienced , so much you haven't tried In time , the troubles you face will slip your mind ...
[Hook] Let it go , let it go Just let the past float away Let it go , let it go Don't let the pain just sit and weigh In a world full of cowards There was always that one person in the mirror Let it go , let it go Make life's loose end a beginning !
[Outro] Let it go New beginning ! Let it go , let it go ! Let it go . |
