Butterflies

James TW's song 'Butterflies' delves into the emotional aftermath of a breakup, capturing the lingering feelings and memories that persist despite efforts to move on. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person haunted by the past, where even the smallest reminders, like flowers through a window, trigger memories of a lost love. The color yellow and the song they played when they moved symbolize the happy moments now tainted by the pain of separation.

The chorus reveals the protagonist's struggle to forget their ex-partner. Despite ghosting their number, hiding pictures, and staying out all night, the protagonist still experiences 'butterflies'—a metaphor for the unresolved emotions and the fluttering feeling of love that refuses to fade. This imagery effectively conveys the internal conflict between wanting to move on and being unable to let go of the past.

James TW's heartfelt delivery and the melancholic tone of the song amplify the sense of longing and regret. The repeated lines 'for you, for you, for you' emphasize the depth of the protagonist's feelings and the difficulty of overcoming them. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the struggle to move forward while being constantly reminded of what was lost.
