After listening to a bunch of trashy tech house, Spotify recommended this remix of Flo Rida by Felguk. I’ve always found the lyrics to this song to be a bit sad. “You know how I know how, to make them stop and stare as I zone out…” sounds like someone describing their antisocial ketamine habit. The remix amps up the melancholy with an acoustic breakdown.
I finish the last curl and stand up from the bench, my biceps burning. I do a slight shimmy with my shoulders and mouth the lyrics. But then I catch myself in the mirror and immediately freeze. It’s tough to see your reflection when you’re hyping yourself up. I guess that’s the appeal of workout classes, the drill sergeant being an external figure. “Watchin' you watchin' me, I go all out,” as the song goes.
