LTB has many fans because he is good at turning strong feelings into music that is easy to enjoy and mixes different styles. His special way of making music, with rich sounds, simple tunes, and very personal words, keeps changing what R&B and pop music are like today. He gets ideas from artists like James Blake and Hozier. LTB’s music tells soulful stories with new and creative production, making each song a special experience, and “Butterflies” shows this.
“Butterflies” starts with a soft picture: a butterfly on a flower. This first picture shows a feeling of gentle beauty and calm. But then, that beauty is quickly shown as something strong and bright, like a flame. This difference suggests the passionate and maybe unstable nature of a past love. A main idea in the song is the sad mix of feelings in the line “sweetness is sour.” This line means that good memories can become painful when mixed with loss. The picture of “forming a butterfly grasping for the wind” is a nice way to show how short and delicate a moment can be. It’s like trying to hold onto something you can’t really hold.
The lines that come back again and again, “Now you’re drifting away / Love forever taken / Wonder if my heart can take it,” show a deep sense of loss and weakness. The repeating of these words makes the separation feel final and shows how the person in the song is struggling with the loss. The question” asked—”Wonder if my heart can take” it”—is a very simple and honest way of saying they are in deep emotional pain and not sure what to do. As the song goes on, the words talk more directly about the pain of a broken heart.
Butterflies
Lines like “You inflicted / Feel the sting like a fight” show the real hurt caused by the other person’s actions. The line, “Sleeping on my lips / You inflicted,” is very powerful. It suggests unspoken pain or the lasting taste of the hurt that was delivered. The singer admits they were naive (“Should have predicted what you did, but I was blinded by bliss”). But they also show a strong desire (“But I’m addicted / I get courageous / Baby I just can’t resist”), showing how hard it is to move on even with the pain.
The story in the song changes a lot when it talks about the exact moment the love falls apart. It’s not just a breakup; it’s when it becomes super clear that things will never be the same again. One person makes a last decision and leaves. The other person is left to deal with what happens next and start the hard job of moving on. This means saying it’s over and learning to let go, like a butterfly flying away.
The song “Butterflies” mixes today’s R&B music with some different, less common music, making a sound that feels floaty and a bit sad. The song is made so that the singing is what you notice most, and it really shows the meaning of the words and feelings. When LTB sings, you can clearly hear his weakness and real feelings, which shows his inner struggles. The simple music and airy sounds together make you feel like you’re looking inside yourself and thinking hard.
In the end, “Butterflies” is about how everyone feels about love and loss. It shows how love can be both delicate and strong, and how it can easily end. The song shows the sadness of breaking up, the hard time of trying to understand and accept that a relationship is over, and the difficult process of letting go.
This song is for anyone who has felt the mix of happy and sad when love ends. It talks about how love can start out great but then fade away, leaving good times and some tears. The path the song shows, from being happy at first to finally being okay even though it hurts, is something everyone understands. LTB’s song “Butterflies” reminds us that even the best loves might not last forever, and learning to let go and move on is important to feel better.
