Ah ah oh oh
Ah ah oh oh
Ah ah oh oh oh oh
I can hear you but I won’t some look for trouble
While others don’t there’s a thousand reasons
I should go about my day and ignore your whispers
Which I wish would go away oh oh oh
Oh
Ah ah oh oh
You’re not a voice you’re just ringing in my ear
And if I heard you which I don’t I’m spoken for I fear
Everyone I’ve ever loved is here within these walls
I’m sorry secret siren but I’m blocking out your calls
I’ve had my adventure I don’t need something new
I’m afraid of what I’m risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want cause you’ve been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake
Or are you someone out there who’s a little bit like me
Who knows deep down I’m not where I’m meant to be
Every day’s a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don’t you know there’s part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh
Are you out there do you know me
Can you feel me dan you show me
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Where are you going don’t leave me alone
How do I follow you into the unknown
Behind the Music: Meaning & Story
The Frozen 2 theme song, “Into the Unknown,” serves as the emotional and narrative centerpiece of Disney’s 2019 sequel. Performed by Idina Menzel as Elsa, with haunting vocal contributions from Norwegian singer AURORA, the song represents Elsa’s inner conflict between her duty to Arendelle and the mysterious call toward her true destiny. Composed by the Academy Award-winning duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, it follows in the footsteps of “Let It Go” as a powerful anthem of self-discovery.
Released on 22 November 2019, the film explores the origins of Elsa’s powers. The “siren call” heard throughout the song is actually based on the Dies irae, a medieval Latin chant, which adds an ominous yet magical layer to the melody. The lyrics reflect Elsa’s fear of risking the domestic bliss she has found with Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven, while acknowledging that she doesn’t quite fit in the world she currently inhabits.
Critically, “Into the Unknown” was a massive success, receiving nominations for Best Original Song at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Its use of high-register vocals and orchestral swells perfectly captures the vast, intimidating beauty of the Enchanted Forest and the Northuldra lands, marking it as a modern classic in the Disney songbook.
