One of her biggest breaks in acting came in 2002, when she got the opportunity to play Hilary Duff's best friend in the made for television movie Cadet Kelly, where she also acted alongside Christy Carlson Romano. This movie became a regular feature on American cable channel Disney. She played "Carla Hall" in the movie. "Carla Hall" was a military school cadet who would not break school rules until she met "Kelly", played by Duff.
What has been, so far, arguably her biggest break in the entertainment business, however, came also in 2002, when she began to play "Hazel Aden" in Degrassi: The Next Generation. Degrassi: The Next Generation followed in the steps of six other shows branded with the Degrassi name (dating back to 1979) in becoming a major hit across Canada, and Lewis reached fame, at least among teenaged television viewers.
In 2002, Degrassi: The Next Generation began to be shown on Nickelodeon's The N, a network geared towards more mature adolescent audiences, and Lewis began to become known in the United States as well.
Out Of My Mind
Andrea Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There ain't no way,
I'm gonna make it through
pre-chorus
But everytime I close my eyes,
All I see is you
I don't know why I need you
But every day I'm deeper
Baby, why can't I keep you,
out of my mind?
I hate myself for feeling you
But I can't help feeling like I do
pre-chrous
But everytime I close my eyes,
All I see is you
chorus
I don't know why I need you
But every day I'm deeper
Baby, why can't I keep you,
out of my mind?
Repeat chorus until end
The lyrics of Andrea Lewis's song "Out of My Mind" depict a situation where the singer is struggling with the idea of letting someone go even though they know they should. They are bored with their life and have nothing to keep them occupied, making it hard to distract themselves from the pain that they're feeling. Every time they try to forget about their love interest, they can't help but see them in their mind's eye. They don't understand why they need this person so badly, and why they can't just move on like they should.
Despite knowing that they should feel differently, the singer can't help but feel love for this person. They hate themselves for it, recognizing that there's no logical reason they should be holding on to someone that's not good for them. But as much as they try to forget about this person, they keep getting pulled back to thinking about them. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't know why they can't get this person out of their head, and they wish that they could.
Overall, "Out of My Mind" is an emotional song about the struggles of letting go of someone that shouldn't be in your life. The lyrics demonstrate the strong emotional pull that love can have, even when we know it's not healthy for us.

Another day with nothing to do
I have nothing to do today and it's starting to weigh on me
There ain't no way, I'm gonna make it through
I don't think I can handle another day of boredom
But everytime I close my eyes, All I see is you
I can't get you out of my head even when I try to escape in my own thoughts
I don't know why I need you
I don't understand why I have this intense desire for you
But every day I'm deeper
My feelings for you are growing stronger with each passing day
Baby, why can't I keep you, out of my mind?
I wish I could stop thinking about you, but it seems impossible
I hate myself for feeling you
I feel guilty and ashamed for having these intense emotions for you
But I can't help feeling like I do
Despite my negative feelings towards myself, I can't change how I feel about you

I LOVE Andrea lewis. She was one of my favorite characters from Degrassi. He is very beautiful and attractive. I would have loved to be the guy in the video. To be honest, she was the only reason why I watched Degrassi. It's so lame without her now.
