Negativo Positivo

Rick e Renner's song 'Negativo Positivo' delves into the complex and often contradictory emotions that characterize a tumultuous romantic relationship. The lyrics vividly portray the push and pull between love and hate, desire and disdain, that many people experience in their intimate relationships. The song's protagonist is caught in a cycle of wanting to push their partner away while simultaneously feeling an intense need for their presence. This duality is encapsulated in the repeated lines, 'Às vezes quero que você se dane' (Sometimes I want you to go to hell) and 'Outra hora peço pra que não me abandone' (Other times I ask you not to leave me), highlighting the internal conflict and emotional turmoil that define the relationship.

The song employs a series of metaphors to illustrate this emotional dichotomy. For instance, the protagonist describes themselves as an 'anjo' (angel) at night and someone who 'não presto' (is no good) in the morning, symbolizing the drastic shifts in their feelings and behavior. The use of electrical imagery, such as 'Basta teu olhar pra me ligar na tomada' (Just your look to plug me in), further emphasizes the idea of being emotionally charged and dependent on the partner. This metaphor suggests that the relationship, despite its volatility, is a source of life and energy for the protagonist.

Culturally, the song resonates with many who have experienced the highs and lows of passionate love. Rick e Renner, known for their emotive and relatable lyrics, capture the essence of a love that is both a source of joy and pain. The repetition of 'Negativo, positivo sem você não vivo' (Negative, positive, without you I can't live) underscores the idea that love, in all its contradictions, is an essential part of human existence. The song's raw honesty and emotional depth make it a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and relationships.
