PARANOiD DJ - 'EYES ON ME (Vox's Song)' (Hazbin Hotel Pilot)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ย. 2021
- ATTENTION: THIS SONG WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN AND BASED ON THE NON-CANON INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS OF 2021, BEFORE THE LAUNCH OF THE HAZBIN HOTEL SERIES AND CASTING.
It contains a voice acted and sound designed dramatic scene featuring themes of abuse which some viewers may find distressing. Time codes are 3:31-4:48.

An original song about Vox, the TV overlord, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, voice acted story and artwork.
Another song, another milestone. This time, I've finally delved into creating a piece of original music in the Hazbin universe, centred around a character who's become one of my favourites for his visual design and the potential of what his role and circumstances could bring to the show.
The general idea for the song was to show how Vox is a controlling business man who uses electronics and his powers to get what he wants. He can see the desires of others through their devices and their data, he can manipulate what they read and buy and his name is on everything as we saw in Alastor's comic. And yet, as was shown on the Instagram accounts, even he isn't able to escape the whims of someone who can be just as controlling and manipulative. While this concept was rendered non-canon with time, I really liked this idea.
As a fan of the harder ranges of electronic music that often are underappreciated, I decided to base the song primarily around Hardstyle. It's a genre that is just as comfortable creating harsh and tough driving soundscapes as it is creating Trance-like melodies and structure. I felt this reflected Vox as a character quite well, having reached the position of overlord with his feeds and powers but also not being completely machine-like.
And finally, a MASSIVE thanks to Ayyy-Imma-Ninja for helping me with the original commissioned artwork for this piece. She worked with me on every step to create the appropriate setups for the story parts of the project and her attention to detail in every aspect from shading to expressions is superb. Please check out her links below and give her all the love for her skills in art, animatics and more.

This. Was. OUTSTANDING.
Not only was the music good but the lyrics were exceptionally well written! So was the story! I know how difficult it is to create something from scratch, and the nerves that follow when it comes to sharing it, but this was incredible!! It shows just how talented you are!!
I was waiting for the climax of the story, and it was as heartbreaking and stunning as I expected it to be, even though I knew it was coming. Poor guy, really. Vox has all this power, but no matter what strength he has, he will always be trapped under Valentino's heel. Vox has control over so much, but the one thing he doesn't have control over is what he does with Val.
Bravo and amazing work as always, DJ!! Thanks again for letting me be part of this!
You were part of this?? :0
I'm listening to this song at 5:00am and it's so amazing! I hope Vivziepop listens to this!
@@Sweet_As_CottonCandy I just did the art XD
@@ayyyimmaninja OH MY GOD, I' SEE, THE ART IS OUTSTANDING!
Great art Ninja! You nailed Vox's expressions throughout the song. And like how Val's on the distorted monitor. He truly is always watching. 👀
Round of applause to the both of ya 😊
Funny how the dynamic is actually Vox trying to keep Val in line 😂
Val still probably is abusive towards vox. Hence vox being annoyed and upset he had to deal with vals tantrum and how valentino broke voxs phone in a scene
@@somebodyoncetoldme4640 he also threw a cup at him which he dodge expecting it
@@somebodyoncetoldme4640 Yeah, I think Vox puts up with it bc he's more powerful
Yeah, in a way while most of DJ Paranoid's songs have aged like wine so far, this one has been rather mixed.
Sure, the parts where he shows control over all screens is accurate, the relationship with Valentino has aged a bit like sour milk.
So far, they seem more like villains in an alliance, aka evil business partners who know how to keep each other under control AND annoy the crap out of each other more than anything.
Still a great song, though, just one that hasn't held up to lore and characterization very well (However, if things change down the road in the show and the alliance goes south between them and it does get abusive in some form, I'll be willing to come back and admit where I'm wrong).
@@kinghyperheart1571 I think its still accurate since valentino is shown to be throwing stuff at vox in the show and nearly hitting him. Like voxs phone and the wine glass he was holding
I love how the song starts out like “Look I’m so powerful and rich” and ends in “I’m in a toxic abusive relationship with a psychopath who is manipulating and gaslighting me help”
Is it weird that I feel bad for Vox even though he's a horrible person? Because even though Vox is the most evil person in hell, I believe that he deserves better than Val. I also believe that Vox can change his ways if he tried. 🤔😟🙂😊
I think that Vox isn’t the most evil person in hell, there’s Lucifer and Val in there and he cant beat them in an evil competition. Also, I definitely think no one deserves to ever have to deal with Val, poor Vox.
Maybe strike a deal with the Radio demon?
@@adamkornacki606 It's a bad idea but it'll work
@@fatalkatalyst9527splendid ! Now on to business , Everything is better with a song don’t You agree ? Vox?
I love how "you belong to V" is assumed to be Vox but at the end it's revealled that "V" is Valentino!
Probably made a deal for the studio success
@@okidokidraws AHHAHAHHAH LMAOOO
I thought it meant vees but at the end it is valentino
@@Yoonheekim22 same
Can't believe now that Hazbin actually dropped, that their roles have always been the other way around 💀
I makes sense
Lmao I know right? Kinda wish it was still like this for the show
Yeah, I thought Valentino would act as the leader of the Vs.
@@thatonenoobkid2342 pretty sure he was for a while but tbf vox is so unironicaly powerfull he just gets hard countered by alastor cos of radiowaves
I think it's two early to judge as it's clear to me that vox had to do a lot to get val to do something reasonable, the way I see it val if he's set off Enough could deflect to abusing Vox (and because of the might and image of the 3 vs he's likely to not fight back and keep it secret because of the same image he used to manipulate Val in episode 2)
its impressive you made an entire song out of a character who has canonacly said nothing
Yet !
frrr
@@dylananthonyriley254 yup yet.
Yet... 😂
That’s kinda funny cuz “Vox” means “Voice” in Latin
vivziepop after making addict: "There's no way they can hate Valentino any more then this!"
You: "Upgrades, people, Upgrades..."
So the "him" in the song is Valentino?
@PARANOiD DJ can you confirm, please? I replayed three times and the doubt is killing me
@@nadiarey4196 yes
@@nadiarey4196 Watch the ending, it practically confirms this
Bobburnham wrote this songth-cam.com/video/1Rx_p3NW7gQ/w-d-xo.html
There is always more to hate about Valentino!
Its funny that in the actual show Vox is much more influential on Val than here where Val actually owns Vox
Val still probably is abusive towards vox. Hence vox being annoyed and upset he had to deal with vals tantrum and how valentino broke voxs phone in a scene
Valentino is not abusive... Theyre both toxic and manipulative towards each other. @@somebodyoncetoldme4640
@@somebodyoncetoldme4640 I think they're both abusive to each other. They're the epitome of a toxic relationship.
@@WelcomeApathy

Kinda disappointed about it, because not only does Valentino not deserve happiness, but other than Angeldust we could of been shown another character suffering by the hands of Valentino
It's funny how whiny val actually is in the show. Like... he's a bad person. But he's clearly not a leader.
Although Vox' obsession with control and attention is pretty correct.
"Auuuuwwwwhhhh but I wwanted to shoot someone :
@@kk9420Read a fanfiction if it's so horrible.
@@kk9420 Then do that and advertise it, I'm sure you'd find an audience
@@kk9420wah wahh, just because every story beat isn’t how you want it to be doesn’t mean its badly written
What kind of sticks out to me most with Valentino abusing Vox is that it was stated by Vivzie that Vox is the STRONGEST of the three V's and Valentino is the weakest. Really goes to show just how an abusive relationship can leave you trapped more psychologically than physically.
I'm just letting you know that if you haven't seen the show, Vox is fine. He isn't owned by Val, Angel Dust is
@@kk9420 oh- srry- I didn't know that-
@kk9420 geting mad at someone for changing her story is wild 😂
U do u tho
@@kk9420 not really... the instagrams were never canon to begin with, it was all made up by the artist.
That end HURT. The ONE thing Vox doesn't control.... Makes me feel bad for him.
Don’t worry Val controls all and we hate it
@@v8sOnlyBIGBOY So I'm just gonna ask this as I've only seen the various Animated Content. Who the fuck is Valentino? What Demon Lord, or circle of power does he control? Cause in various Media, not sure which is canon, but he apparently is feared by like fucking EVERYONE, Even Stolas a Demon Prince who by rights should be head and shoulders above him in power, status, etc. Seems to genuinely fear him.
The only person who DOESN'T seem to Fear him is Alastor, and for some reason even Val seems terrified of him, trying to Use Angel Dust to try and get some kind of weakness, or dirt on him... Is that his power or some shit? Anyone he has 'leverage over' immediately becomes powerless before him? Cause he REALLY doesn't seem that hard to just fucking shoot in the head and as Hellva Boss has shown, that shit will still work on Demon Lord's just fine, and even Demonic Royalty can be brought down with the RIGHT kind of gun, so seriously WHY is Val this end all badass that everyone but Alastor seem to be utterly helpless before despite their power being at least SHOULD be comparable/close enough to not really have to just tremble and be knocked around?
@@OnimaruAnji Valentino is a demon who controls the "adult love" side of things
Also drugs
@@the_collecter So kind of a Demon of Vices. But no absolute canon, or lore reason why he's this utterly unstoppable force of asshattery?
Idc how much this doesnt line up with how the show turned out, i LOVE IT
I mean it did, he’s singing about controlling you with technology, just like VoxTech. just not the abuse from Val.
Val still probably is abusive towards vox. Hence vox being annoyed and upset he had to deal with vals tantrum and how valentino broke voxs phone in a scene
Same here man
Ooc/ who knows maybe in season 2 we may actually see Val treat Vox like angel dust
Yea cause it is cannon val broke his screen i think twice- @somebodyoncetoldme4640
Despite the fact that Val and Vox's relationship turns out to be more leaning towards Vox in terms of control, I love the fact that this still gets Vox's general role in Hell absolutely spot-on, what with him able to hypnotize and control others via his screens.
The lyrics "A monster I'm in love with, despite all the pain" really twisted my guts and broke my heart honestly
We need to buy vox a screen protector.
@@vanessavollmer1279Yessss
@@vanessavollmer1279 Tempered glass isn't enough T-T
lol you guys-
Welp I’ll go get the tape 😅
I don’t know why, but when he says, “And I’m the one who killed the radio” it just sends a chill up my spine
Same,we need to see Alastor and Vox battle it out. I love both these characters. I would hate for one of them to die.(Idk if you can die in hell)
I honestly think there will be at least one reference to "Video Killed the Radio Star" in the finished project for Hazbin Hotel
I suspect that this is a slight dig at Alastor, his competitor in the broadcast business and as rival overlords, who is called the "radio demon".
@@nathanlehman569 that's definitely what it was.
Well the ppl of hell mostly relied on the radio *device* for entertainment before vox
The juxtaposition between Vox‘s „You belong to V“ in blue and his „I belong to V“ in red made me shiver, holy shit. That was so well done.
@@StaticShadowDemon Okay, you made this comment a month ago, which means there's a 99% chance you already watched the show.
So how do you still have the impression that Val owns Vox after seeing their dynamic in ep 2?
I love that the Vox the fans made before the series is WAY MORE different then the actual canon Vox. 😭🙏
3:23 I absolutely love that little "Mh?" Vox makes when Valentino calls him; it's clear Vox was so into what he was doing, feeling powerful and cool and all, that he doesn't immediately connect the voice to Valentino and that to being in trouble
That was not a Mh, but an Uh? It is the opposite, he was concerned when he heard the voice of valentino
me when my mom walks in
I think he said Val, because he sounds confused
or now
I’m just thinking about how painful the would be for vox, that’s basically like having your skull cracked and having your brain damaged because you can hear sparking like some wires are cut kinda like how damaged nerves may randomly activate and electrically pulse
Fortunately a screen isn't a brain, his disk memory and CPU must be on his chest so everything is okay
frrr
@@nedjohnsstill hella painful
"I'm the one who killed the radio" if that is reference to "who killed the radio star" that's genius. Also the wordplay with you belong to "V" being Vox but actually Valentino is really smart
I think with the radio is Alastor bec hes the Radio demon
Nope I’m working so tired I’m tired tired
It's also a jab at Alastor
It is cool, its both a jab at Alastor and a reference
frrr
fun fact, Vivziepop wanted Mark Hamill to voice Vox. I'd really like to see Mark sing this as Vox lmao. that'd be a sight to see
Agreed Old Friend. 😈
Something tells me Mark Hamill isn’t this guy
@@asfrflagcommunity966 hm. yea, I wonder why "Mark" sounds so different here....
lol
Wait - as in Luke Skywalker?? ... That would be a trip.
@@sammanthajones6794 yup. I'm assuming he'd use his Joker voice, though
Love how you made Vox in this. Here we have an overlord with immense power and basically in control of al media in hell. Not a nice guy by any means as he talks about manipulating and selling people back their weaknesses for a fee. But then that ending demonstrating even he has a weakness, that being the abuse at the hands of the ‘monster he loves’.
Great work as usual DJ
That's sounds like real life media tycoon, which are also something else tyccon outside of owning media. I also think about social media tycoon and GAFAM monopoly over social media and acces to information. Vox seems to be linked with a lot of real real-life issue.
This song gives me something I liked out of Addict, and Hazbin/Hellovaboss in general. The theme of "trouble in paradise". These are all bad people, and upon coming to hell, they're free to indulge in any sadistic and sinful desires that could cross their minds. They seem happy to be there, with no rules or limitations...
But it's not that simple. it's never that simple.
Angel dust being abused sexually. Vox being physically abused by a lover, and held under control, despite the amount of power he holds. This is what this world gives me. The shivers, the pain...
As Alastor says. "The purest kind of entertainment; Reality!" People are complex, in life as well as in death. Beautiful in all their faults... all their cracks. Love the song, DJ, looking forward to more.
And yet mnay fan think hell s=is cool
I like how it consolidates the two seemingly contradictory statements of how Christianity describes Hell. It’s a “Sinners Paradise” and a “Pit of suffering” and from what little we’ve seen it’s successfully managed to be both.
For new demons it seems like a paradise beacuse anyone can do anything, but later they realize that it's actually a neverending chaos of pain because _anyone_ can do anything.
You can either go to magical place where you evolve past the need for earthly pleasures, but are also surrounded by pure souls, or you can go to an anarchist inferno where you can do whatever you wish without punishment, but are also surrounded by horrible people
@@funnyvideoguy3216 I mean helll also has some rules and heaven is clealy the better option lol
i love how a character who was in the pilot for like 2 seconds is seen by most in community and now it aged well, since vox and the other vees are now included to the show
I will never ever get tired of this song. To me this is still the best fan song for a Hazbin Character ever and we really need more vox centered music
You're Goddam Right, More Techno House for Hell's Sake
Anyone else really impressed with the touch of having his screens fuzzed out while he's confident and in control, but when his charisma slips they're clear and you can see Val and the work that Vox is doing?
That's a real nice touch.
I hadn't noticed, what a nice detail :o
Vox: *nothing*
Vox: *LITERALLY NOTHING*
Hazbin hotel fans: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN.
Real like bro I've never seen him

@@mist5142 where can i watch it?
THE FULL SHOW IS OUUTTTTTTT😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"I don't like being seen with broken merchandise" just broke me
Coming back to this this aged like sorta fine wine, spot on with how Vox controls the internet in the Pride Ring and can see and hear everything you do, and the relationship between vox and val are kinda swapped, vox is the one running the entire gig and val is just the one most people think has the power but actually doesn't in a way.
Crossings my fingers in hopes for an “Addict”-like music video for this song, because holy shit, does this deserve it!
I know right it’s so good
if we did it wont be for a long long time since the show hasnt come out yet. Once it does and we get to hear the actual voice it would be more likely. But there is also a chance it wont happen at all since we dont know the true feelings of Vox and Val. The only reason we know they date is because of the now empty instagram accounts. But that is blissful thinking.
This and "Change The Order". :)
@@cartooncritique6625 I’m not sure they could do THAT, since that song doesn’t technically belong to them.
I'm actually working on animating my best version to something in the line so-
Tbh, I like this dynamic better than the actual one
Same here
It'll probably end up like this one honestly.thats similar to what happened to angel dust, so i wouldn't be suprised
@@Tr4sh.cat_ Vox is not gonna be controlled by Val, unless the dumbass moth who can barely read somehow gets the chance to sign a deal for a bunch more power. Right now, Vox is the strongest of the Vees and Val is the weakest
"I'm the one who killed the RADIO soon you'll all see" Okay that line hit different now that we got to know Vox more
And it has officially been one year since this masterpiece was introduced to the world. Thank you for helping keep this fandom alive, PARANOiD DJ.
ikr
Round 2 years now…
@@tessevanknijffand it was worth the long wait
Yaşıyonmu
The way this song changed and morphed throughout to bring out an actual story was incredible! Dubstep makes sense for Vox, but I VIBING with that Future Bass chorus!! And then the slow, sad final stanza was what really made this feel like a Hazbin song. Beautiful.
"you belong to V" BRO I LOVE THAT PART
Me too
I really like the connection between Vox controlling the flow of information with technology and hiding the abusive relationship he's stuck in.
I swear, this song is like a drug. It's so addictive.
Fr😊
The background music gives me brain tingles
My personal headcanon of Vox's relationship with Valentino is that he doesn't keep going back to Val out of some twisted Stockholm Syndrome, or even love. He keeps going back because he wants to catch Val in a trap, eventually. He wants to discover evidence of Val's wrongdoing that even the likes of Lucifer can't ignore. Vox, in other words, is playing a long game, and he's willing to suffer greatly for it.
That all aside: this is a masterpiece, and I love the stark contrast between the regular part of the song and the minor-key reprise. I wanna give Vox a hug. Is that unusual?
I think the reason why Vox keeps going back to Val is because...well,they're allies and alliance between two powerful Overlords make great power and great teaming up with their forces united.
To be honest i feel like Vox and Val's relationship is less of them being lovers and more of them being fuck buddies,if you get what i mean.
@@bobbobby5158 oh I get what you mean and I think it’s probably the hunny moon phase but you could be right about that too
It is not weird to want to give him a hug, I have wanted to hug him since I saw the voxtagram stories ;-;. Those Instagram posts are literally the only reason vox is my favorite character.
Well Vivzie imagines him being voiced by Mark Hamil,i feel like he would then have a Joker like voice.
And Vox just can't kill the rat bastard because...?
It's almost like the moth and flame dynamic, which is ironic seeing as Val's the moth demon and Vox has electricity-related powers, yet he's the one burning.... You know what....that makes sense. Their 'relationship' doomed from the start. Hm. I bet it took him a while to realize _he_ was the moth, not the flame.
When Hazbin Hotel comes out and we hear Val's voice, it's going to feel super weird that he doesn't sound like this anymore.
You never know. Vivzie could pick up the actor here for the show
I'm with you, VA is good but I prefer this way more personally.
you really wrote "a monster I'm in love with despite all the pain" and expECTED US TO BE MENTALLY OK AFTER THAT OMFG
It feels so in tune with the canon story. It's amazing and I'm already addicted. I feel like a rollercoaster: you get strapped in and just keep going higher until that drop and soft return to reality. I like how you flesh Vox out here. He becomes larger than life, however you still see a human side to him. The broken screen speaks volumes, it tells such a deep and different story than what we think is happening at a glance. Vox isn't stupid, yet he stays chained to him. Love is a cruel, and fickle mistress. This fandom has such complex and layered characters, I spend my days living in this beautiful mess, thinking about it all day. I want so much more.
It's funny. Vox is so much stronger than Val, but he's a prisoner to him all the same due to his affections. Really hope we get a dynamic like this in the series.
Considering the new Hazbin episode, I am pretty sure Vox is the one on top of Val.
To the guy's credit, all prior hints where that Val was the dominant one. Episode 2 really took us by surprise.
Given that Val got his way in the end by being an emotional abuser? Ehhh', they're both manipulative and shitty to each other. Witholding information and using it as a beneficial weapon is something abusers do, and that's what Val did to Vox -- he kept the info of Alastor to himself until he needed to use it to get his way. Vox said no to going to the Hotel, but now he's going to want to to get at Al. So. Two way street.
Well vox and Val are two different flavors of abuse. Val is physical and sexual. Vox is emotional and mental.
I hate Valentino so much
@@jamesthesplendidengine2663 Then you've come to the right place my friend :)
paranoid dj's valentino is absolutely terrifying
The amount of money Vox had to pay for all the times Val broke his TV. Val uses his power for Val, but if it goes on as planned (according to Val), Vox has to pay for another screen.
Well if he’s anything like an iPad then all that needs replacing is the digitizer if his LCD panel was dented then he would be display stripes and lines
Also I think he has a monopoly on screens so it would be relativlycheap for him?
This is surprisingly good and gives a new dimension to Vox as a character. This may not be the direction for the character in Hazbin Hotel but it shows how they can develop the character. You also point out a good point; If Valentino is abusive towards Angel Dust then you would think he is abusive towards Vox as well. Amazing song, Great work
I have to confess I hope it is the direction they take his character, tbh
So...good bad news? You are right, Val IS abusive towards Vox. Its cannon T^T
@@Surunasu Really? I thought this was a headconnon that became populair. Where did you hear this?
@@laurabliek2474 I think they'rr refering to the instagram stuff - although it's not canon, I think there's probably some truth in it, seeing as it was official in some way-
@@laurabliek2474 isn’t his screen cracked because Valentino hit him?
We need more vox songs 🔥🔥
Real
FR
Well, this song aged interestingly. Especially the ending.
Watching this for like...the third time, I can see the comparison to Addict in this song. The first half is the confidence, the power that he's demonstrating, and he drops subtle hints about Val.
In the reprise at the end, he shows his true feelings, and the abusive snippet with Val solidifies that. The fact the Angel and Vox are being abused by the SAME PERSON also adds a powerful reflection of these two.
Awesome, as always.
I did Not expect to cry in that one, but how proud and strong he is and then Val shows up and LITERALY Breaks him... 💔 Poor Vox...
I know that in canon it's actually Angel Dust who is in the position of this song, but I do still like this version of Vox
Now that Vox has an episode about him I want to see an update version of this.
I’m literally speechless so I’m just going to say this song was *chef’s kiss.*
Anyone here in 2024 still watching this banger ❤
*Ahem hem* I'm here
Were both Vox and Val acted by Paranoid? Because if so holy shit, that’s Johnny Depp level flexibility in acting ability
Just double-checked the description since I didn't know myself, he does indeed voice both!! I'm even more impressed than I was before
These two on top of his Fizz, Angel, Alastor, Blitz, and THE STOLAS ONE ❤ He's actually insane
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THIS WAS MADE BEFORE VOX GOT INTRODUCED?
Do you mean like before we see him? or hear him talk?
@@Purplemans88 hear him talk yk, getting to actually see his personality, how he interacts with others, talks, etc..
Heck yes. Just saw someone saying crap on a vid about something released years ago about it not being accurate and I had to go “ya bitch course it isn’t accurate”
@@angelicagriffin6180 AS👏🏼 YOU👏🏼 SHOULD👏🏼
Val yelling Vox's name is equivalent to my dad yelling my name bc I have my music too loud in my headphones
The way this voice is basically the closest voice to the canon voice actor in show. Everyone else thought he sounded WAAYYY different. But this is literally the closest to the voice actor lmfao
Am I the only one who noticed this song is similar to 'Poison' song? Because at the end of the song, Angel Dust sounds like he was crying and Vox sounds like he was kinda sad or something (I don't know)
So Angel isn't the only one who also suffering, I feel bad for Vox. Seriously Valentino if you hurt Angel and Vox in any way I'm gonna make you regret the day you ever became an overlord
>:(
This was a heartbreaking and stunning as I expected it to be, even though I knew it was coming. Poor guy, really. Vox has all this power, but no matter what strength he has, he will always be trapped under Valentino's heel. Vox has control over so much, but the one thing he doesn't have control over is what he does with Val.
Bravo and amazing work as always, DJ!! Thanks again for letting me be part of this!
I think maybe one of biggest differences between Angel and Vox in terms of their relationship with Val is that (like you said) Vox has the power to leave Val, problem is he seems to be too in love with him to leave. Whereas, Angel makes it very clear how much he hates Val, however he doesn't have the power or strength to leave Val.
@@oliviamorales9406 Your right but sometimes I wish with all my heart they both have the will and power to leave Val for good.
I had a thought go through my head where in a unusual occurence, Vox has finally had enough and basically electrocutes Valentino with a near fatal Tesla coil discharge and then locks him in a Faraday cage surrounded by hundreds of Tesla Coils each capable of killing him a thousand times over. And better yet with Val out of the picture he burns Angel's contract and takes over and revamps the Porn Studios into his new citadel.
I heard somewhere that Vox actually sympathizes with Angel Dust as they both get abused by Val,i don't know if this is actually true though but i like that idea.
Val did love Angel, just in a manipulative way you know.. Like those creepy S&M films
LYRICS:
(Spoken intro)
Initiating data feeds
Filtering relevant audio streams
Network systems online
Vox
(Verse 1)
This world yearns for the simple
Base pleasures of forgotten life
Where every want or need leaves a record...
And a price
And so inside my kingdom of bits and bytes
The data flows in like a million lights
And I know
What they're willing to sacrifice
(Chorus)
I can corrupt, manipulate, control what you see
I am the instigator of your future technology
I know your vices and desires but won't fix 'em for free
No apprehеnsion, pay attention
Keep your eyes on mе
Step right up, come on in, feel the buzz in your veins
I'm like a chemical electrical right into your brain
And I'm the one who killed the radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers, you belong to V
(Verse 2)
This city's but one of my servers
Where there's a market for murder and sin
All former humankind and I can log their minds
On a whim
And though it's ready for me to make it mine
There's still one thing keeping me in line
They don't know that I'm bound
To him
(Chorus)
So I'll corrupt, manipulate, control what they see
I am the master of obscuring through our technology
I'll sell your every single weakness back to you for a fee
Don't be a fool and stand there droolin'
Get those eyes on me
Take a chance, play my game, get the rush in your veins
I'm sending out my signal download into your brain
And I'll be conquerin' the airwaves, I'm on all of your screens
So pay up motherfuckers, you belong to V
I can corrupt, manipulate, control what you see
I am the instigator of your future technology
I know your vices and desires but won't fix 'em for free
No apprehension, pay attention
Keep your eyes on me
Step right up, come on in, feel the buzz in your veins
I'm like a chemical electrical right into your brain
And I'm the one who killed the radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers, you belong to V
[Spoken Intermission - Vox, *Valentino*]
- *Vox?*
- Val? Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't think it was that big a deal. It's just a small transfer, I'll have it back where it was in a few days-
- *Uh-uh. Wrong answer.*
- Uh- fuck! Come on Val, let go of me!
- *You think I wanna do this? Constantly have to try and keep you in line?*
- You're crazy! I didn't do anything!
- *Oh, so now I'm crazy, huh? You want crazy?*
(Sound of breaking glass, Vox groans in pain)
- *See? Think I wanted to do that? Look at the shit you make me do.*
(Vox continues groaning and breathing heavily)
- *Are we done here? You gonna do what we actually agreed to? Or do I have to make you?*
- Yes, Val...
- *Good. Clean yourself up while you're at it. I don't like being seen with broken merchandise.*
(Footsteps, Vox continues groaning and breathing)
- Okay... ugh, shit... (sigh)
(Outro)
So I'll keep a tight control of what they can see
They'll never gaze behind the maze of cracks on the screen
His dominion, his opinion is the only one key
And though I try to hide it
He's got eyes on me
Made a bet, forged a deal, he got into my veins
A monster I'm in love with despite all the pain
And so I say this in my solitude, it's my decree
No one will ever know that I belong to V
thanks couldnt understand so much!
Thanks for the lyrics. 😊
Ty for the lyrics!
te amo tanto, gracias
Thank you for the lyrics！！❤
it's funny to see now that the firsts episodes of hazbin hotel came out that their relation is more equal and it's more likely Vox who keep an eye on Val x)
"Keep your eyes on me"
Vox has an extreme interest in being seen
And in hell he is shown as a television
I mean he gets his power from being seen so yeah
The idea that the manifestation of visual media is in an abusive relationship with the manifestation of pornography is solid gold from Vivzie, and Paranoid DJ has made a cool song about it. The VCR made the porn industry VERY lucrative in the '80's, and has been exploiting all manner of visual media ever since, so Valentino does owe most of their power to Vox. This song is a great addition to the VivzieVerse.
2:11 the way he says 'get those eyes on me' WOOO HOLY SHIT- is it just me or is it hot in this room??
If I remember ViziePop made a tweet of Vox’s screen shattered and it was stated Valentino did it
It's weird hearing this after watching the show cause it's actually Vox who controls Val
That and Val there’s no abuse between them (that we haven’t seen yet)
Fuc..
Imagine how insane it would be to meet THIS tone side of reletionship between Vox & Val
🖤
..
Honestly i really hope Vox and val sound exactly like this in HH these voices are just so perfect for the characters
Val is perfect but I was thinking Vox would have a bit more of a GLaDOS like robotic buzz to his voice.
the last part is missing from spotify, it was my favourite part :( i love this song
Damn, this hits different now 😮❤
This almost made me cry... The sounds of Val and Vox scuffling brought back some bad memories to me and I felt Vox's pain. Especially at the end when he said: "No one will know that I Belong to V". That felt like a bullet to the chest. He still loves Val even after all of the crap he puts him through. I get they're in Hell but no one deserves this. Not Vox, Not Angel, not Anyone! Vox... 💕
I mean he kinda does desrev it
@@tobsonasanya4765 how
Its ok buddy. I wont say I know your pain, but Ive felt a similar pain. Its ok.
I wanna become Vox's friend
@@brooksburson2641 Demon
To everyone saying this isn’t cannon accurate anymore I’m like 90% sure it’s cannon Val has broken Vox’s screen before
Even tho the instas aren’t canon he did throw stuff at him in ep 2, it would be more weird if it had not happened yet tbh lol
@@idioticone2349 Fr
I really hope they some how lean towards this direction again tbf even though it would be super hard to write in considering how season 1 went
@@itzjazthefox1629 they did confirm they were in an on and off relationship in a recent livestream so it isn't as impossible as it seems.
They are just in the "good" phase rn I'd bet
@@idioticone2349 True true
5:12 even if Val isn’t as much of an abuser towards Vox I really feel this line can still stand
I absolutely love how the music video includes the last part where we see him being abused by Val and then the last of the lyrics come on
“so I’ll keep a tight control of what they can see”
“They’ll never gaze behind the mask of cracks on the screen”
“ *his* dominion
*his* opinion is the only one key” and so on. In the official song (not the video) that last part with Val is removed making it a lot more emotional it’s a really good detail and it was honestly pretty smart for you to do that
LYRICS
Intro-
Initiating data feeds..
Filtering relevent audio streams..
Network systems online.....
VOX
Verse 1
This worlds yearns for the simple
Base pleasures of forgotten life
Where every want or need leaves a record... and a price
And so inside my kingdom of bits and bytes
The data flows in like a million lights
And I know..
What they're willing to sacrifice
Chorus 1
I can CORRUPT
MANIPULATE
CONTROL what you see
I am the instigator of your future technology
I know your vices and desires but won't fix 'em for free
No apprehension
Pay attention
Keep your
EYES ON ME
Step right up
Come on in
Feel the buzz in your veins
I'm like a chemical electrical
Right into your brain
And I'm the one who killed the RADIO
Soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers
YOU BELONG TO V
Verse 2
This city's but one of my servers
Where there's a market for murder and sin
All former humankind and I can log their minds
On a whim
And though it's ready for me to make it mine
There's still one thing keeping me in line
They don't know
That I'm bound...
To him...
Chorus 2
So I'll CORRUPT
MANIPULATE
CONTROL what they see
I am the master of obscuring through our technology
I'll sell your every single weakness back to you for a fee
Don't be a fool an' stand there droolin'
GET THOSE EYES ON ME
Take a chance
Play my game
Get the rush in your veins
I'm sending out my signal download into your brain
And I'll be conquering the airwaves
I'm on all of your screens
So pay up motherfuckers
YOU BELONG TO V
Bridge
I can CORRUPT
MANIPULATE
CONTROL what you see
I am the instigator of your future technology
I know your vices and desires but won't fix em for free
No apprehension
Pay attention
KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME
Step right up
Come on in
Feel the buzz in your veins
I'm like a chemical electrical
Right into your brain
And I'm the one who killed the RADIO
Soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers

Dialogue-
Val: VOX!
Vox: Huh? Val? Look I'm sorry, ok? I didn't think it was that a big deal. It's just a small transfer, I'll have it back where it was in a few days.
Val: Uh uh! Wrong answer!
Vox: Ugh! Fuck, come on Val let go of me!
Val: You think I want to do this?Constantly having to try and keep you in line?
Vox: You're crazy, I didn't do anything!
Val: Oh so now I'm crazy huh? You want crazy?
Vox: UGH!
Val: SEE! You think I wanted to do that?!
Godamnit the shit you make me pull.
Are we done yet? You gonna actually do what we agreed to or do I have to make you?
Vox: Yes, Val.
Val: Good, and clean yourself up while you're at it. I don't like being seen with broken merchandise.
Vox: .....Ugh... Ok, ok let's just- oh shit! *Sigh*
Verse 3
So I'll keep a tight control of what they can see
They'll never gaze behind the maze of cracks on the screen
His dominion
His opinion
Is the only one key
And though I try and hide it
He's got
Eyes On Me
Made a bet
Forged a deal
He got into my veins
A monster I'm in love with despite all the pain
And so I say this in my solitude
It's my decree
No one will ever know that I
Belong
To
"V"...
(OMG THAT TOOK FOREVER 🤣)
Thank you!
Thank you!
Valentino, I'm pretty sure you did wanted to do that, get a therapist ya slender
Thank you SO MUCH ❤❤❤
The background at the intro is the animus void from assassin's creed revelations
The ending is just like Addict’s. The whole time Angel and Vox put up a fake face, acting happy as hell until they have a breakdown at the end because of Valentino
*♾️/10, love your music*
This song still slaps but it hasn't exactly aged well now that the full show is out and we know the vees.
seeing that in canon Val and Vox have a fairly healthy relationship with each other makes me feel a lot better about that ending part
Agreed
I highly doubt it. Knowing both of their personalities. To be seen in season 2, but nothing about the characters screams "capable of healthy relationship"
An abusive pimp and a narcassist. I don't believe that's going to be healthy.
@KlearChristal listen, if it isn't abusive, it's good enough considering Val is there.
Vox may have to come down and calm him sometimes but at least they ain't besting the shit out of each other
@@KlearChristal they're perfect shitheads for each other lol
"pay up motherfuckers you belong to V" I love that line so much! It really shows that all the people that work for Val have to pay their end of the deal if they wanna be safe.
1:02 "and I'm the one who killed the radio"
Me: video killed the radio star ⭐💃
this aged like milk
When the part "you belong to '"V"" in blue changes to red like the tv static, that could be an indicator that things don't actually belong to V (Vox) but V (Valentino).... Vox is clearly very powerful but he feels imprisionated by his love for Val....
Man… I have to say this interpretation of Vox has so much depth that could have been explored had it been canon. I mean, these characters actually seem like they’re in Hell and in need of redemption from a perpetual cycle of abuse, and the emotional complexity is more compelling to me than the canon, to be honest.
Your Vox is literally so perfect!! And your Val! He's so sinister! Didn't think there'd be fanwork that would make my heart shatter for Vox but here I am in tears 🙃
(Funny enough I watched this on a cracked screen)
Omg same. My phone has some cracks in it XD
Bro same
Hey watched this through a cracked screen too ;D
Can someone pls tag al we need him to take him Valentino out pls🙏🤞
Same ;D
I promised myself not to get attached to another Hazbin character, but here I am now, crying over Vox from all the overlords, damn your amazing techno music mastery
When he says "belong to v" at the end I realize he could've meant val the whole time! Love that you can put this much depth to characters we still need to experience ❤
I love this song so damn much, the line “No one can ever know I belong to V” hits hard
He who controls information controls the world.
Despite his immense power and potential, he's still susceptible to those even hungrier and more manipulative.
Excellent work as always, DJ
“So pay up mf’s you belong to V”
Vaggie, Valentino, Velvet, And Vox:
*HE COULD BE ANY ONE OF US*
This has me r o l l i n g
Lol I think that’s on purpose jk but yeah there’s so many v characters
Vark...
(Vox's shark)
@@nstballoon6541 holy shit ur right
Or maybe vivziepop 😂
How to make a perfect advertisement 🤣
I wish they got Paranoid DJ to voice Vox with these effects. TT^TT
i think that since velvet sees vox and val as her dads, she sees this whole mess like a child watching her parents get divorced, she knows that things are bad but will never know how bad they can get, she doesn't know why val hurts vox, she just knows that it happens and she's not alowed to tell anyone
I think in the instagrams she says she thinks Val abusing Vox is funny. Maybe she’ll end up as adult version of Azula
@@jibekmechler139 s**t. there goes that headcanon
@@feliciabaxter6423 well the instagrams aren’t canon anymore
@@jibekmechler139 oh i forgot, thx
God, this sent chills down my spine! The hell of a bop (no pun intended) for the majority of the song leading to Val and Vox's dialogue before ending with a softer, more of a melancholy like tone (which we heard ever so briefly in the song itself) that nearly mimics the reprise of ADDICT. But sadly for Vox: there is no "hotel" for him to go to, there is no place where he could go to and call it "home". He signed the deal with a devil of lust and manipulation and torture - the first deal that Val has ever even made if we are in theory territory - that he can't get out of, even if he does go to double Hell.
The thing is, Vox is one of the most powerful characters in the entire series, and one of it’s main antagonists. The most likely reason (in theory territory) that he doesn’t just beat Val to a pulp until he stops torturing him psychologically, is because he’s attempting to maintain an obviously toxic relationship. He chose someone that was as depraved and level-headed as he was, and they’re both fighting to be “the bigger man.”
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SOLELY BECAUSE IT GIVES IN MORE DEPTH ABOUT THE SITUATION-- We know it's abusive and toxic but never really got that feel based on how others portray them and hearing the turn from confidence and pride to utter anguish and heartache? Just heartbreaking if you do ever consider expanding, consider going through Velvet's view of the situation? No one really touches on her in the way they do Vox, Val and Angel when it comes to characters and her POV would be interesting
Yeah......I wonder why Valentino never messes with velvet??
Is he afraid of her?! If so does that mean a future alliance between Vaux and velvet.....that would be so cool if they worked together to take down Val
@@laurenmckenzie9369 she's apparently the strongest out of the 3 and most unhinged so, safe to say Valentino fears her to some extent but isn't worried since she's childlike in nature and views the two as her parents. I think it might actually come to her going to aid Vox if she's told everything since Vox is the main one to take care of her and keep her in line while Valentino uses her like an attack dog and promotional creator.
I think Vox also kinda shows an interesting foil to Angel in terms of their relationship with Val. They both seem to be very aware of how abusive Val is but the big difference is that while Angel hates him, he doesn't have the strength or power to escape Val. Meanwhile Vox is implied to have equal, if not, more power than Val but is too in love with him to escape.
@@oliviamorales9406 Velvet doesn't understand nor get it, he's a lot gentler with her with the worst thing he's ever done is tell her that her cookies suck and it was out of spite. If she's got more power than the both of them, it's in his best interest to manipulate her view just in case that it comes down to Vox actually turning.
Seeing this now since the series is out, it’s so different😭
but still amazing, it just makes me wanna 💃🕺🏻
vox in this song: 🤡
val in this song 🗿
vox in the actual show: 🗿
val in the actual show: 💀
I thought Vox was Valentino's bitch, but it's the opposite
Thats literally how val should sound like, dead
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me: *enjoying the song*
Me a couple minutes later: *hears Val*
Me 5 seconds later: Someone gonna die-
This was beautiful, I love it Imma send it to all my friends :D
I’m so protective over Vox it isn’t even funny 💀
DJ, the amount of time, effort, & dedication you put into for this character, to write an original song about Vox is absolutely incredible & inspiring.🖥⚡️The lyrics & beats speak to me about his current afterlife situation. Song was beautifully done, once again you’ve graced us with another masterpiece!✨💕🎧🎶
2 million views later, and still- what a debut to original music. Freaking phenomenal.
And, as if more needed to be said for your penchant for audio storytelling, you made me feel bad for Vox. VOX. You mad genius.
Can't wait to see what comes next!
I LOVE VOX SM😭
I loved him since the pilot 😭😭
