Gym Class

Lil Peep's 'Gym Class' is a track that intertwines themes of nostalgia, hedonism, and the complexities of relationships. The song's lyrics reflect on a past relationship that started during the high school years, a time often associated with youthful innocence and formative experiences. The reference to 'gym class' serves as a metaphor for a simpler time when the artist and his love interest were together, suggesting a sense of longing for the past.

The song also delves into the lifestyle that comes with newfound fame and wealth. Lil Peep talks about the cash flow and the materialistic aspects of his life, such as letting a girl spend his money and her appearance resembling a 'Playboy bunny' or 'porn star.' These lines depict a life of excess and indulgence, which is a common theme in the genre of emo rap that Lil Peep was known for. The repeated mentions of drug use and looking at the stars while getting high suggest escapism and a desire to reach an otherworldly state of mind, away from reality.

Despite the braggadocious elements, there's an underlying sense of isolation and introspection. The artist reflects on his solitude and whether to reach out to the girl, indicating a struggle between the desire for connection and the comfort of isolation. The line 'Baby I'm a priest in the underworld, guess who' could imply that he sees himself as a guiding figure in a dark world, possibly the music industry or his own inner turmoil. The song captures the duality of enjoying the pleasures of success while dealing with the emotional baggage of the past and present.
