The snow softly glistens in the moonlight tonight
Not a trace of a footprint
This empty, deserted land is now my kingdom
Of the storm that rages inside me, no one knew until now
It became too much for me, no matter how hard I tried
Let no one in, speak to no one
Be obedient and don't leave here
Feel nothing, do nothing that betrays anything
That's too late now
Let it go, let it go
The course must change, it must
Let it go, let it go
Close the doors now for good
What they say about me there
Doesn't affect me here anymore
And cold has never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance gives so much more insight
Because the fear that always drove me now slides off me
I go in search of who I am
Push the boundaries I know
No right or wrong applies to me here
I am free
Let it go, let it go
The storm inside me is over
Let it go, let it go
No more tears for me
Here begins my new existence
Fearless and free
My power grows and creates a row of stone pillars
My soul builds a castle of ice crystals around me
In every crystal echoes the echo of my spirit
Never, no never go back
The past is gone
Let it go, let it go, I rise from the cold
Let it go, let it go
On this high peak
Here my life begins again
Free and fearless
Cold has never been an issue for me

SONG MEANING

Laat Het Los is the Dutch powerhouse version of Disney’s iconic “Let It Go,” and Willemijn Verkaik delivers it with sparkling Northern-Lights energy. Picture a moonlit blanket of fresh snow, no footprints, and a lone queen realizing the empty stillness is hers to command. The lyrics move from hushed secrecy to triumphant release as she trades fearful obedience for bold self-discovery. Snow becomes her stage, ice her architecture, and every shimmering crystal echoes her newfound voice.

At its heart, the song is a celebration of shaking off other people’s expectations and embracing the raw, sometimes chilly, truth of who you are. The “storm inside” turns into soaring freedom once she decides to let it go: no more hiding, no more tears, just pure, fearless authenticity. By the final chorus, she isn’t merely surviving the cold—she’s thriving in it, rising higher than any memory of doubt. It’s a goosebump-giving reminder that true strength arrives the moment you stop apologizing for being yourself.
