Montevideo – Brawn

Lima menit! Gym-nya cuma lima menit dari rumah, dan tokoh di Brawn tetap tidak kunjung berangkat.

Montevideo meracik single ini sebagai ejekan untuk diri sendiri. Generasi mereka memuja otot, mereka ikut-ikutan, lalu bingung harus mulai dari mana. Ada kejujuran yang menyebalkan di situ. Kita semua kenal orang itu. Sebagian dari kita adalah orang itu.

Ia bergerak seperti sesi latihan. Daftar bagian tubuh diteriakkan jadi reff, lengan, perut, paha, lalu kembali lagi, tiga set penuh. Bait-baitnya nyaris tak berganti, janji tinggal beberapa angkatan lagi, keluhan bahwa semuanya membosankan. Post-punk dan indie rock di sini dipakai untuk mengeluh dengan badan tegak, dan band ini sendiri menyebut Gang of Four serta Art Brut sebagai kiblat. Kepala kita ikut mengangguk di tiap repetisi, seperti sedang menghitung.

Saya membaca liriknya sambil duduk, dan tetap saja pegal.

Lalu satu baris yang paling sadis. “gave up on my friends, need muscles before it ends”, nyanyinya.

Brawn berakhir tanpa pendinginan. EP Montevideo datang 16 Oktober, apakah ototnya juga?

Lirik Lagu Montevideo – Brawn

I swear I tried my best sweat all year tried to make it work

But it’s so boring am I too lame to be on top

I swear I’m gonna make it just a few more would you hide this smirk

But it’s so boring am I to blame if I just stop

Brawn

Arms, abs, thighs, don’t know where to start

Oil on brawn, it takes all my weeks, i’ve stopped stupid drinking

Legs, hands , calf, i’ve worked but it does hurt- so - much

gave up on my friends, need muscles before it ends

It’s getting harder and harder getting motivated

though my gym is only 5 minutes away from my place

They think I’m posh with their overpriced subscription

Build up this bod for summer vacation

Arms, abs, thighs, don’t know where to start

Oil on brawn, it takes all my weeks, i’ve stopped stupid drinking

Legs, hands , calf, i’ve worked but it does hurt- so - much

gave up on my friends, need muscles before it ends

I swear I’m gonna make it just a few more, would you hide this

smirk

But it’s so boring am I to blame if I just stop

Common boys who look at me when I’m leaving Basic Fit

I’m doing some serious workout here, so get out of my face

just keep on walkin, ‘cause I’m about to get so strong

just watch these guns I’m bulking up for my satisfaction

Arms, abs, thighs, don’t know where to start

Oil on brawn, it takes all my weeks, i’ve stopped stupid drinking

Legs, hands , calf, i’ve worked but it does hurt- so - much

gave up on my friends, need muscles before ends
