A year after her departure from Idols Dewi released her first album 'Know Me'. Its single 'Left of Center' reached the top ten in The Netherlands. Other hits were 'Amazing' and 'When You Walk In The Room, a duet with Jamai, who was her boy-friend at that time.
In 2007 she played in the stage musical Hair, but in april 2008 she returned with a second album, called 'True to my soul'.
Dewi later did little public jam-sessions with friends like Hind or ex-K-otic members Anna and Bouchra.
She resurfaced in 2009 as a "mystery popstar" in the television show 'Popstars'. This season, known artists were given the chance to audition but hidden from the jury, so they would be judged solely on their voice, not their popularity.
In 2010 she is making a comeback with the new single called 'Sour'.
She is having now a labelcontract with Diesel Joy Records.
Dead end love
Dewi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happened to the plans we made, long ago?
Where is the love we used to make?
Why did we let it go this far? Tell me why
Walking round and round in circles
I guess we've been here before
So let me know, I got to know or I'll be gone
Give me a reason for me to believe in you and me
Have a crashed and burned beyond return
Give me a reason for me to believe, can't you see
We have crashed and burned..
Dead-end love
You talk to me as if I wasn't there
Am I invisible to you? or don't you care?
I'm feeling like a ghost when I'm with you
I was the dream that you once had, long ago
Walking round and round in circles
I guess we've been here before
So let me know, I got to know or I'll be gone
Give me a reason for me to believe in you and me
Have a crashed and burned beyond return
Give me a reason for me to believe, can't you see
We have crashed and burned..
Dead-end love
What happened to the smile up on your face?
Where is the love we used to make?
The lyrics to Dewi's song Dead End Love reflect on a relationship that has reached its end. The persona is questioning what went wrong and why their love has ended up in a dead end. They wonder about the plans they had made long ago and the love they used to make, but now it seems to have vanished. The persona is seeking answers and a reason to believe in the relationship they had, but it seems that they have crash and burned beyond repair. They are pleading with their partner to give them a reason to continue in the relationship or else they will be gone. The persona seems to feel invisible and like a ghost when with their partner, and they acknowledge that they have been in a cycle before.
The lyrics suggest that the couple has been through this struggle before and the relationship is not headed anywhere. The use of the metaphor 'Dead End Love' signifies that there is no way out of the relationship, as it has come to a standstill. The persona is seeking answers and closure to move on to the next stage of their life. The song's tone is sorrowful and emotive as it expresses the pain of a relationship's unraveling. The lyrics are expressive and insightful, giving the listener a glimpse into the challenges that come with a broken relationship.
