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.
Left of center
Dewi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But with her it's just so obvious She always plays the game with her in mind
I'm so low maintenance
She'll just drink you up till you're dry
How can you be so blind inside
You think I'm a little left of center
I'm not the type to go with
whatever's in
And if you think that she can do better
Then let her
She's just so ordinary
And I thought by now you'd figure out
That a girl like me is so much more your style
She always stays between the lines
She ain't the kind of book that you'd read twice
If you give me a chance
Maybe I could change your life
How can you be so blind inside
You think I'm a little left of center
Whatever
I"m not the type to go with
whatever's in
And if you think that she can do better
Then let her
She's just so ordinary
You always wanted something special
Said you'd never setter for less
But baby, think of what you'll miss
If you walk away with this
You think I'm a little left of center
Whatever
I'm not the type to go with
whatever's in
And if you think that she can do better
Then let her
She's just so ordinary
The song "Left of Center" by Dewi is about a girl who is not like anyone else, and she doesn't play the game that everybody else does. The singer is trying to make a case for herself and show that she is special, but the guy she's talking to is not convinced. He thinks that the girl he's with is better and doesn't see what the singer has to offer.
The singer describes herself as "low maintenance," meaning that she doesn't require a lot of attention or material things. However, she also knows what she wants and won't compromise just to fit in with the crowd. In contrast, the girl the guy is currently with is described as someone who plays the game and always stays between the lines. She is not someone who will challenge him or bring something new to his life.
The singer tries to convince the guy that he should give her a chance because she is not ordinary. She sees herself as someone unique who can change his life in ways that the other girl can't. However, despite her efforts, the guy seems to be blinded by the other girl and doesn't appreciate what the singer has to offer.
