Mexico
Shirazi\\Afrojack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Suitcase packed no letters and away I go

Flames blow away our memories up in smoke

And now it's time
For miles and miles

And I'll be going until I just run out of road

If you are looking for me
I'll be in the land of the free
Nobody there is guilty

By the time you know
That your love's gone
I'll be down down down down
In Mexico

Suitcase packed no letters and away I go

Flames blow away our memories up in smoke

And now it's time
For miles and miles

And I'll be going until I just run out of road

If you are looking for me
I'll be in the land of the free
Nobody there is guilty

By the time you know
That your love's gone

I'll be down down down down
In Mexico

Line by Line Meaning

Suitcase packed no letters and away I go
I'm leaving in a hurry, without any attachments or goodbyes

Flames blow away our memories up in smoke
All of our past memories together are disappearing and fading away

And now it's time
The moment has come to start a new chapter in my life

For miles and miles
I'm going to keep traveling until I can't anymore

And I'll be going until I just run out of road
I'll keep moving forward until there's nowhere left to go

If you are looking for me
If you happen to be searching for me

I'll be in the land of the free
I'll be in a place of freedom and opportunity

Nobody there is guilty
People don't feel responsible for things that happen there

By the time you know
Before you realize it

That your love's gone
That your affection for me has disappeared

I'll be down down down down
I'll be far away, out of reach and down south

In Mexico
In a country full of life and adventure
