Positiva
Slo Burn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
The breaks in life always seem to pass away, pass away, pass away
But sometime baby you gotta let me break free, break free, break free
But that don't mean that I don't love you, love you

Oh yeah, if you listen I'll tell you one time
Oh yeah babe, I know you don't listen and I'll tell you a second time
Oh yeah, the sea's gone baby and the sun is up, yeah
Oh yeah, you and she are gone, and she likes you to know

Burn, burn, burn, burn
Your love has burned and your soul is gone, and I don't care, and I don't mind
And there's something good in your never poor
Lord, lord, lord, lord
There's something in you well I can see
Now give it to me, give it to me

Oh yeah, if you listen I'll tell you one time
Oh yeah babe, I know you don't listen and I'll tell you a second time
Oh yeah, the sea's gone baby and the sun is up, yeah
Oh yeah, you and she are gone, and she likes you know

Oh, oh yeah, if you listen I'll tell you one fucking time
Oh yeah babe, I know you don't listen and I'll tell you a second time
Oh yeah, the sea's gone baby and the sun is up, yeah
Oh yeah, you and she are gone, and she likes you to know

Oh, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, get it
Give it to me, give it up I said
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, get it
Give it to me, give it up when you see
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, get it
Give it to me, give it up I said
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, get it
Give it to me, give it to me





Oh yeah, well if you listen I'll tell you one fucking time
God damn, babe, I know you do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slo Burn's "Positiva" speak to wanting to break free from the breaks in life and the expectations placed upon us, while also acknowledging the love that still remains. The repetition of "breathe" and "break free" highlights the need for space and the desire to escape from the pressures of life. The negative connotations associated with "burn" suggest that while the love may have once been passionate or strong, it has since faded and the singer no longer cares or minds the loss.


The lyric "there's something good in your never poor" is interesting and open to interpretation. It could refer to the singer's belief that there is still something valuable in their partner, despite the waning love. The phrase "give it to me" is repeated throughout the song, perhaps suggesting a desire to hold onto what remains of the relationship or to receive something from the partner that is still worth holding onto.


Overall, "Positiva" is a song about the complex feelings that arise when love fades and the need to break free from life's constraints, while still recognizing the good that remains.

Can't get past Slo Burn, Unida and Kyuss.  Can't.  Stop.  It's my trio of a gaming standard.

Yes, Sleepy.  Though I prefer Hermano of the two.  :)  Thanks for the heads up!
