Mexico
Louie and Patrick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if I'll come back home
Boxes on my bed
Left alone
There's dust on the windshield
Dust on my heart
Blue eyed girls
Keep me out the dark
I'm trading trains
For single lanes

Lets go to Cuba
Rum brings in the New Year
Fly to Lima
Get high with the sunshine dreamers

I'm trading trains
For single lanes
Gotta get on with my life

Mexico, and the goodbye towns
Indigo eyes, follow me around

I'm trading trains




For single lanes
Gotta get on with my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Louie and Patrick's song "Mexico" appear to be a contemplation of leaving everything behind and starting anew. The opening lines "I don't know if I'll come back home, boxes on my bed, left alone" depict someone who is uncertain about their future, but is aware of their need for change. The feeling of isolation is emphasised by the line, "there's dust on the windshield, dust on my heart". There is a sense of longing and melancholy that resonates throughout the song. The line "blue-eyed girls keep me out the dark" suggests that the singer is reliant on the company of others for emotional support.


The chorus, "I'm trading trains for single lanes, gotta get on with my life" indicates the singer's desire for a simpler life. They are willing to give up the hustle and bustle of city life for the more peaceful existence of a small town. The lines "Mexico, and the goodbye towns, indigo eyes follow me around" suggest that the singer has a romantic notion of Mexico and sees it as a place of refuge.


Overall, "Mexico" is a song about the complexities of leaving behind the familiar and embracing the unknown. It's about taking a leap of faith and trusting that everything will work out in the end.

@AlwaysBubblin

@@ZEKE.TRUCARDiii what... no way, i sill listen to "Louie and Patrick" on their soundcloud because it's the only place their music remains. That's crazy, i'm so happy they made it

@ZEKE.TRUCARDiii

@@AlwaysBubblin Nicee, not many people can say they supported someone from the very beginning! Seems like they've been grinding for many years to get where they are now. Admittedly they are absolutely next level & I think they will grow even more in the coming years
