Dead End Amelia's music may be described as "Art-Rock," most likely due to the band's hard rock, metallic sound with progressive ventures into ambient, even urbanesque trip-hop and alternative-indie sounds. DEA has released two EP's to date, There's a Bright Side to All of This (2010), and The Point of No Return (2011) and a full length album The Sound of Awakening (2012).
The band is steadily attracting the hearts of new fans due to their prolific release of new media materials such as high-quality rehearsal videos, and new music at a quick pace between larger releases. DEA has performed to an ever-growing audience that has resulted in sold out performances in their local Los Angeles scene. The band is road-hardened and will be playing across the US in support of the debut album The Sound of Awakening.
Band Members:
Krista Lee, Dean Dichoso, Will Dorsey, Diego Ruelas

Dead End Amelia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lullabies singing
Dozed off
Your melody is ringing
I've missed you
Hold on, wait another minute
Scared 'cause you called and I dont know why
I dont know why
Shot me down twice before, now
You wanna bring me down to the other side
(You know that's what you like)
You dont care at all
(You dont)
You dont care at all
(So we go)
Down to the other side
And I know, that you, don't care, for me.
At all
I'm willing to be your satellite
I'm willing to take the fall
I'm Willing to be alone in this
I'm ready to lose it all
As long as you're there
As long as you cared
Maybe once, maybe twice
It's good enough for me to tear my own heart
Apart
Don't stop till youre ready to die.
The lyrics to Dead End Amelia's song Satellite explore the complicated and often painful emotions that come with being in a relationship with someone who continually hurts you. The song's protagonist is conflicted, both angry and longing for the person who has repeatedly "shot [her] down twice before." She is afraid and confused by their sudden reappearance in her life, yet is still willing to hold onto them no matter the cost.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You don't care at all" three times, highlighting the central theme of the song. The singer knows that their partner does not truly care for her, yet she is still willing to be a satellite to them, orbiting around their world and sacrificing herself in the process. Despite the pain and uncertainty, she is willing to take the fall and lose everything, just as long as they are there.
The final line of the song, "Don't stop till you're ready to die," adds a sinister twist to the already complex emotions of the song. It suggests that the singer is not only willing to sacrifice everything for the person who continually hurts her, but that they are also willing to take extreme measures to keep them in their life, even if it means harm to themselves.
Overall, the song Satellite dives deep into the complexities of love and relationships, exploring the often-messy emotions that come with caring for someone who may not care for you in return.
