Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, the group released two successful albums, Dru Hill and Enter the Dru, before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqó's second album, Return of Dragon, did not sell as well.
In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order, whose underperformance led to the group being dropped from Def Soul. In 2009, the group signed to Kedar Entertainment Group and released their fourth album, InDRUpendence Day, the following year, with new member Tao taking the place of the again departed Woody.
Away
Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We said we'd be together till the very end
Ain't nobody ever made love, that we did; oh yeah
I must admit we had something special
Almost perfect 'cept those things we didn't let go
You did you dirty, girl; and I did mine too
And now you want me gone away.
Sooo easy making mistakes
We're being selfish, and had us helpless
Now it's better that we go away; away
Never thought that we would be apart
And leaving with broken hearts
How did we let our love get away? (how did our love gave away)
What ever happened to our yesterday
Never thought we'd let it get away
The future we had faded away (away, away, away)
In this song, Dru Hill talks about a couple in a relationship that started out strong and with great love. They promised to stay together till the end but later on they both did some things that hurt each other. The mistakes they made broke their relationship and they became beyond repair. Although they had something special, they were being selfish and helpless towards each other. Therefore, it's better if they go away from each other. The chorus reflects their sadness and how they never thought that their love would fade away.
The song shows how love can be powerful and can make a great impact on anyone's life. It also conveys that mistakes are part of life, but when it comes to relationships, they can be costly. People should take responsibility for their actions and work towards fixing the mistakes. They should also understand that sometimes it's better to let go when things don't work out, and this can be the hardest decision of all.
