Overall Meaning

In SA'RA CHARISMATA's song "Mushroom", she uses video game references to speak about the challenges of life. In the chorus, she sings about getting up and getting your Mushroom, which is a reference to the power-up item in the Super Mario Bros. game. The Mushroom gives Mario an extra life, or the chance to grow bigger and stronger, which is similar to how we face challenges in life and strive to overcome them. The line "Life is a video game" reflects how life can feel like a game, with its obstacles and rewards, and we must navigate through it like a player in a video game.


In the first verse, SA'RA discusses the different enemies in the game, including Goombas, Koopas and Troopas, and asks the listener which one are they. She then references the "fireflower", another power-up item in the game that allows Mario to shoot fireballs and defeat enemies. These references show that life can feel like a battle, with enemies and obstacles to overcome. The lines "Who's in control? Don't ask, They'll come for you" suggest that sometimes we may not have control over what happens to us and we must be prepared for whatever comes our way.


In the second verse/bridge, SA'RA sings about playing video games with her brother and how she didn't realize that life would be similar to a game. The lines "You duckin and you strugglin, Be knuckin everyday" suggest that she has to work hard to get through life's challenges, similar to how players have to work hard to get through a difficult level in a game. Overall, the message of the song is to keep going and keep fighting, like a player in a video game.

Happy holidays everybody! I was asked what the Mushroom lyrics are about and they are about government and media control over our lives. Like a video game, we are characters going through life, going from one obstacle to another, thrown at us from those in power, so that we wont see the truth that is right before us... - Hugs Sa'ra
