Ladybird
Twarres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone again
You know I want to be alone
With you and the ladybird, the ladybird
So you did't have to be alone
The ladybird she loves you too
Like I do, like I do
Like I do, like I do
I can't be with you
So can she, the ladybird
She may be small but here love is hugh
Ladybird, ladybird of mine
The Ladybird she loves you too
Like I do, like I do
And she will keep an eye on you
Like I do, like I do
I want to see you
I know I can't
I want to see you after all
I know I can't
The lyrics of Twarres's song Ladybird are deeply reflective of the feelings of the singer. The opening lines "Here I am again, Alone again, You know I want to be alone" immediately set the tone of the song. While the singer wants to be alone, they also want to be with the person they love, and the ladybird represents the bridge that connects them. The singer finds solace in the idea that they are not entirely alone because the ladybird keeps watch over the person they love as well.
The lyrics are filled with a sense of longing - a longing to be close to the person they love and to share their life with them. But for some reason, the singer finds themselves unable to be with the person they love, and hence the ladybird becomes a symbol of hope for them. The ladybird's love is pure and unalloyed, and it gives them comfort and solace in times of distress.
The lyrics of Ladybird are a testament to the power of love, and how it can manifest in the most unexpected ways. They also highlight the role that hope and faith plays in relationships, and how having something to hold on to can help us weather even the toughest storms.

Here I am again
I find myself in this situation again
Alone again
Without your company, as usual
You know I want to be alone
I long to be with you, but we both know it's not possible
With you and the ladybird, the ladybird
If only I could have you and the ladybird, a symbol of love and protection
So you did't have to be alone
I wish I could be with you, but the ladybird can take care of you in my absence
The ladybird she loves you too
The ladybird feels the same way I do about you
Like I do, like I do
She loves you just as much as I do
And she will keep an eye on you
She will watch over you, protect you and keep you safe
I can't be with you
I am unable to spend time with you
So can she, the ladybird
But the ladybird can be with you, and I trust her to take care of you
She may be small but here love is hugh
Although she is small, her love is immense
Ladybird, ladybird of mine
My beloved ladybird, the one I trust to protect you
I want to see you
I long to be in your presence
I know I can't
But I understand that it's not possible
I want to see you after all
Despite the impossibility, my desire to be with you remains strong
