The song "Dewi" by Dewa 19 is a love song that expresses the singer's regret for hurting the woman he loves, Dewi. The first two lines of the song are a plea for forgiveness and a request for a second chance. The singer asks Dewi to give him a chance to make amends for the mistakes he has made towards her. He acknowledges his wrongdoing and expresses deep remorse for the pain he has caused her.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of love towards Dewi. The singer tells Dewi that she is his life and that he loves her to death. He begs her to listen to him and understand that his love for her is real. The line "Belah lah dadaku" (split open my chest) is a metaphor for exposing his innermost feelings and proving to her the depth of his love.
The song also touches on societal stereotypes and gender roles. The singer acknowledges that their relationship may have faced challenges due to societal norms that dictate how men and women should behave towards each other. He laments that their love was not taken seriously by others because he is a man and she is a woman.
