  • be seen

  • so the snow glows white to glow is to

  • illuminate so like my hand looks like

  • it's glowing because of the light here

  • tonight not a footprint to be seen

  • a footprint is the mark you leave after

  • your foot has been there so if I'm

  • walking in snow the marks left by where

  • i stand are footprints

  • so there's not a footprint to be seen

  • the snow is clean

  • no footprints a kingdom of isolation to

  • be isolated is to be alone to be cut off

  • so this whole kingdom this whole town

  • place is isolated and she says and it

  • looks like I'm the queen the wind is

  • howling we use the word howling to

  • describe wind quite often because when

  • wind blows really hard in makes a

  • sound howls so the wind is howling like

  • the swirling storm inside swirling

  • means to turn around so the wind storm

  • is swirling like this swirling storm

  • inside she's talking metaphorically

  • about these feelings that she has these

  • feelings of frustration anger and

  • they're inside her building up getting

  • more and more angry and upset so the

  • wind is howling like this swirling storm

  • inside couldn't keep it in heaven knows

  • I tried so she had an outburst she's had

  • an emotional outburst because of this

  • building frustration we say heaven knows

  • and God knows quite a lot to give

  • emphasis to what we're saying

  • heaven knows I tried heaven knows I

  • did everything I could

  • God knows okay should we listen to that

  • bit with music so what you should always

  • try to do is sing all the words properly

  • good your voice is, this is about learning

  • the words and phrases so we have nice

  • and slow

  • kingdom of isolation and it looks like

  • queen the wind is howling like the swirling storm inside

  • couldn't keep it in heaven knows I tried

  • the next section she says don't let them in

  • don't let them see she's talking about

  • keeping herself private keeping herself

  • to herself not letting people know how

  • she feels not letting people know what

  • she's thinking

  • don't let them in don't let them see be

  • the good girl you always have to be do

  • what is expected of you be the good girl

  • you always have to be conceal concealed

  • feel don't let them know and then she

  • said well now they know because she was

  • trying to hide but she couldn't help her

  • hold it back anymore let it go let it go

  • turn away and slam slam means to bang

  • the door so you slam the door you bang

  • the door

  • shut so she's going to turn away and

  • slam the door she's going to neglect

  • them walk away from them abandoned them

  • I don't care what they're going to say

  • they can say what they like

  • I don't care what they're going to say

  • let the storm rage on

  • she's talking about that storm inside

  • that she's now let go let it rage

  • she's very angry she needs to chill out

  • okay and then she sings, very end she sings

  • the cold doesn't bother me anyway she's

  • basically saying I'm strong I can go out

  • and live on my own I don't need you

  • the cold doesn't bother me anyway
