Mexico
Dada (ante portas) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She doesn’t want to go
But where she comes from there’s no way
There’s no place, for a girl like here these days
What she leaves is already lost
Freedom has its cost
A home can be lost she found out
When all answers fly away with her doubt
Will she find her kind over the sea?
It’s hard to take the unknown in exchange for home
But she feels like – Mexico
She’s on her way to Mexico
To escape from her tale of woe
Living quietly with her dread
Alive or dead – is it all in her head?
The further she gets the less she regrets
Freedom’s replacing all threats
Standing knee-deep in the sea
The moonlit tide is setting her free
Will she make her way over the ocean?
Will she find her kind over the sea?
It’s hard to take the unknown in exchange for home
But she feels like – Mexico
Will she make her way over the ocean?
Will she find her kind over the sea?
It’s hard to take the unknown in exchange for home
But she feels like – Mexico
The song "Mexico" by Dada (ante portas) tells the story of a girl who is forced to leave her home and embark on a journey to Mexico, a place where she hopes to find a better life. The lyrics describe her reluctance to leave, as well as her doubts and fears about what awaits her in this unfamiliar place. However, as she gets further away from her old life, she begins to feel a sense of freedom and liberation, which culminates in the moonlit sea setting her free.
