Mexico
Afrojack Shirazi Lyrics

The lyrics to Afrojack's song "Mexico" describe the act of leaving a past love behind and starting anew in a place where nobody is guilty. The first two lines of the chorus, "If you are looking for me, I'll be in the land of the free, nobody there is guilty," suggest that the singer has left a difficult situation, perhaps feeling guilty about something they've done to their former lover. However, in Mexico, they feel as though they can start over and move on. The suitcase packed with no letters, along with the line "flames blow away our memories up in smoke," suggests that the singer is leaving their past behind without looking back.

The final lines of the chorus, "by the time you know that your love's gone, I'll be down down down down in Mexico," suggest that the singer is moving on quickly and that their former lover may struggle to catch up. Perhaps they've been hurt before and are determined to leave their past behind to move on to bigger and better things. The repetition of the line, "And now it's time for miles and miles and I'll be going until I just run out of road," suggests that the singer is on a journey and is not looking back.
