Can I just say the fact that her hair looks like a mushroom cap is the icing on the cake for this masterpiece.

[catalinaargyriou]

[sjmaster]

Mushroom dance, Mushroom dance, whatever could it mean...










IT MEANS YOU'VE LIVED A LIFE OF SIN

[Kloeeistired]

“The ones like me weren’t build to last.
I’m not leaving it up for debate. “
Hardest lyrics I have heard

[xEARTH]

"last song i will post as a 17y/o... birthday soon :)"

you mean to tell me you fucking made corrosion, one of my favorite vocaloid songs to date, AT AGE 14?! how in the hell did you do that what, and THIS IS SO GHOOD TOO???? im jealous and also insanely pleased to learn all of this lmfao

[whispersofmemories]

This song definitely reminds me of like, the vibes of when you tell people you're working on getting over your trauma, and they start acting different

[Eosinophyllis]

Okay. Here’s my theory: prions.
The singer first describes being unable to sleep and feeling sick but not having anything indicating they’re sick. The first symptom of FFI, a prion disease, is insomnia. The singer also describes having an INTENSE need to scratch and itch, which is a key symptom of scrapie, a prion disease affecting sheep. The singer’s paranoia, what later seems to become hallucinations, delusions and disorder thinking, is quite reminiscent of psychosis and dementia, both of what prion diseases cause. The single “fruiting body” in the first chorus is the initial prion— all it needs is one badly formed protein to send off a chain reaction, plunging the sick person into a downward spiral. “The ones like me weren’t built to last” could refer to the singer’s family dying from the same illness. “I’m not one to cry, but I haven’t been able to since” might refer to the pseudobulbar affect, which kuru (a prion disease) is known to cause. “My organs and the colony will mix-mix-mix” could refer to how the prions have completely taken over the singer’s brain.

Anyways, thanks for reading my comment. Have a great day.

Honestly so many disorders follow underneath this song. I have heard, DID, dysphoria, OCD, OSDD, BPD, ADHD, Autism, GAD, psychical illness, ect. The fact that so many people can relate to this song is amazing. ngl I wish I commented this sooner but another great hit from R.I.P

Edit: wow and alot more too

[wahoodotwav]

to me this song feels like it's about dysphoria, paranoia and a dissociative disorder. as such, it goes in The Box and i am putting it in all of my playlists forever /pos

[IronVigilante]

Whats more horrorfying... the idea that this is all metaphorical? Or that she's litterally disolving into fungi, mixed with laughter and cries, struggling to stay together as her friend watch her turn, telling them "No second chances, DO IT NOW!"

Now, before seeing the video, I imagined the singer was slowly turning to a humanoid amalgam of fungi, with small deformities and, maybe even a mouth on the side of her head, slowly driving her crazy as they tear her apart, literally and figurativly... (Would I make it in the horror industry with that desc?)

Fun fact: ive nicknamed the main character in this fruit snacks, and you should too.

[sleepysweater]

As a DID system this song hits so close to home
“People say I’m not the one I claim to be”
“A trauma in the system”
“How did we end up in here? Nobody knows”
“I am not in the body that was meant for me”
“I don’t know how my mind acquired these memories”

[thejoyofcreation]

this song heavily reminds me of my own experiences with OCD. the fruiting bodies representing either intrusive thoughts or stuff your brain decided to obsess over there. "i just wanna itch and scratch" could represent compulsions (even though most of mine are mental). this one is a bit of a stretch but "i am not in the body that was meant for me" could be referring to the fake physical sensations or false attractions certain subtypes of OCD can give you.

anyways, practically every lyric reminds me of OCD so im too lazy to write all of them out here lmao.

[mootodamax]

this song makes me feel like someone's right behind me. i think that means it's good

[mercyfulxtyrant]

[SleepyFunkin]

After thinking about it for a bit, I'm pretty sure this is a metaphor for those... Less than pleasant thoughts.
That little fruiting body budding in the depths eventually evolving into a thousand fruiting bodies bursting out of her skin, spreading their pores, could represent how a little negative thought grows, and how it WILL spread and multiply and take over if you let it.
But hey, that's just a theory.

[oxytocinin]

scared im gonna memorize the lyrics in 2.5 seconds again

update after premiere: i memorized them already

Trivia about cordyceps mushrooms:





The host is actually conscious, since the only things the cordyceps targets are the body parts needed to climb upwards like the legs and jaws. No mind control of the sort.
