Figuratively means metaphorically, and literally describes something that actually happened. If you say that a guitar solo literally blew your head off, your head should not be attached to your body. But they're also going to create literally a tidal wave of data.
Figurative language is often achieved by presenting words in order for them to be equated, compared, or associated with other normally unrelated words or meanings. Literal usage confers meaning to words, in the sense of the meaning they have by themselves, outside any figure of speech.
