I rewatched the song a few times and just realised that when he's dancing in the end bit he's actually just dissociating and imagining that he is dancing, when you can see what's really happening in the screen behind him- And when his voice grows louder in the song it's when he's actually screaming, it's pretty horrible if you pay attention to it.
Yeah, the happy dancing, the coyness, the sexuality is all a coping mechanism to claw back some semblance of power in a powerless situation There is no moral people like Val won't break if it gets them what they want; a twisted ambition
@@BliffleSplick You first gotta have a moral to break it. Val doesn't technically break any morals because he doesn't have any. If any at all, it's 'Thou shalt always act on your desires' and 'Thou shalt exploit others in pursuit of your goals'.
As a SA and abuse victim , I really do relate to Angel Dust and I hope that he somehow gets out of Valentino's contract weather by him dying or Valentino dying. This song is so sad , yet it's a bop.
ADDICT initially painted Angel Dust's life as being glamorous and fun before showing us the harsh reality of it. This song isn't even trying to hide it.
The fact that alot of this song shows angel happy, but the longer it goes on the worse it gets for him. And the fact the song points out it's angels fault.
@@Dexultimate420 to be honest, i more think val likely got angel to make a deal with him is maybe he was acting a friends with benefits with angel and then talked him into signing up with him bysaying he'll be rich, famous, and with how angel and his family at odds with eachother val offered a way out of his family's shadow.
@@Sleepycreator0433 Yeah, but they were at least hidden behind a lethal overdose of lyrical dissonance. If ADDICT is like someone luring you in with a slice of cake before knocking you out with a hammer and locking you in their van, this song is like being mercilessly beaten to death with that same hammer.
@@Dexultimate420we’ve seen overlords use tactics to get people warmed up to them to eventually make a deal with them. Wouldn’t be surprised if that happened with angel dust and Val
Literally being physically and sexually assaulted. Notice how Valentine takes a drag and puffs it out, now red to symbolize his additional pheromones (aka, the drug his body produces) and suddenly Angel is dancing while we get flashes of the sexual violence he's being subjected to, on-camera. Valentine only gets Angel to do the porn by roofieing him. Taking away Angel's ability to prevent his body from acting lust-crazed, regardless of how much he wants to be dong anything, absolutely -anything- else. (This is the exploitative side of porn production, exploiting peoples' lack of complete realization of their humanity and personhood to manipulate them into positions they otherwise would not be willing to get into. Make no mistake, not all porn production is like this, but it is a serious, dangerous, and sometimes deadly problem for those who are exploited for others' profit.)
the more i break this down, rewatch moments, notice details, slow things down, the more this breaks my heart honestly. they did so well, it still hurts hundreds of listens and watches later
Recently, I found out that he recontextualizes himself as a dancer on a stage in his head while what's really happening in reality is on the big screens in the background. By doing so he protects his mind from the outside world; his last stand to protect his sense of self. He hints at this at 1:05 when he says that "I got so good at being untrue" and later 1:12 "I disassociate, disappear". The latter line is taken literally as the basis for the following scenes. This became most evident at 1:33 where he is on the floor of BOTH the mental stage and in reality before pounding his fist on the floor and then switching to him doing the same but on his mental stage. The moment Val appears the mental stage and the big screens invert their roles and his superstar persona shows up on the screen instead before snapping out of it at 1:49 where he opens his eyes once more once he remembers where he is. Val's presence is so powerful that he's capable of shattering Angel's sanctuary with ease. This song ages like exquisite wine. Props to the passionate folks at the HH crew for crafting this fine gem.
@@firelight3806yea! my favorite part abt this entire thing is the fact that he's disassociating and essentially maladaptive daydreaming to cope with his abuse. it's such a creative means of discussing the realities of abuse victims
@@firelight3806 great now you made me feel even worse for Angel I didn't notice that before I noticed some things 'cause my mom is Psychologist and sometimes she talk about some things about patients and I noticed that Angel believes it's entirely his fault ('cause my mom mentioned a patient who's in a toxic relationship and she thinks the same) so "ignoring" the real thing it's good they are portraying so well the kinda situation (especially with a male victim)
Watching this for the first time was an experience like none other. I'm obsessed with it. I went in not expecting Hazbin to do much for me but this episode was something else. They knew what they had to do
The First time I watched this, I ran in to the kitchen and stuffed food into my mouth until I couldn’t feel anything and then drew a picture of Val and destroyed it by dumping it in a bucket of vinegar and ripped it in half and than burned the whole thing thing and then putting the ashes on a paper airplane and threw it in the desert. I am seriously not kidding
This episode made me cry. It was so heart-breaking and endearing. I couldn`t bare it and yet I could only cheer for Angel Dust. This song with the accompanying video... oh man, an arrow to the heart.
Anyone who thinks this song and video are glorifying abuse needs to read between the lines and pick up on the subtleties that _carry_ the whole thing. The lyrics are speaking to an abusive relationship that is impossible or too dangerous to escape, and the abused is too used to that life anyway to see any way out. And the visuals, while brutal, clearly show blink and you'll miss it glimpses beneath Angel's mask of being okay, because if he _ever_ shows any signs of not being perfect, Val will just abuse him more. It's a grim but accurate depiction of how it can feel to be trapped by someone who has power over you and is abusing it. (And/or you.)
Completely agree but while watching this I feel like it's anything but subtle. This video was actually pretty graphic. I can't understand how people get this twisted, I had tears by the end of it. 😢
people think this song is trying to normalize abuse? this is clearly not being depicted as normal, you don't even need to read between the lines, just look at his face at 1:45
Are there actually people who don't understand this? The song is honestly about as subtle as a brick to the face with its message. Even without the video itself, the lyrics are absolutely seething.
The scariest thing about all of this is that people like Valentino actually exist in real life. *Edit:* To everyone who has shared a story about someone who was similar to Valentino, I hope you are doing okay now. I hope that they are no longer in your life and you’re taking your time to recover.
Watching this scene is a whole other experience. Better than just listening to the song. Actually watching the events that go along with the lyrics, seeing every uncomfortable bit before the breakdown, it genuinely hurts by the end
Yes! Me too, this song really shows an amazing reflection of abuse and s3xual assault and it really tells how much pain Angel Dust is going and has went through. It's depressing, but what makes it hurt even more is that it's a realistic representation of what kind of cases ,with these substances in them, these actually are.
I relate to him so fuckin much it's painful. When I was in this kind of life, addicted to drugs and being sold like this, this is exactly how it felt. Maybe it's silly to relate so much to a cartoon but Idc I've been a vivzie fan since middle school and I'm glad HH is finally getting the love it deserves. But this song man... It hits so hard. The pain, the masking, the back and forth with yourself and feeling so hopeless and helpless and it's neverending so you use whatever you can get your hands on to drown it out. Heartbreaking
i haven't even watched hazbin hotel or interacted with the community, but that last 20 seconds is honestly selling me into watching it. Whoever voices angel dust is talented asf, that sounded so emotional
Blake Roman! He does an awesome job voicing Angel Dust, he manages to act out both the exuberant mask Angel tends to put on, as well as the super emotional scenes. Would definitely give it a watch!
To me, a great song is one where you feel the rhythm and beat when you're in a good mood, and resonate with the lyrics when you're down in the dumps. They absolutely nailed that with this one.
Watching this episode for the first time was holy SHIT. You can tell from the writing, direction, pacing, music, visuals, acting, everybody working on this knew that if Hazbin Hotel does one thing right, it HAS to be this episode. The way I reacted watching this one for the first time was insane. I'd love to experience those heights again. And what's funny is I didn't care much for the Addicted music video, but THIS gets me hype. I love that they went for it. And the song is an actual banger. THEY HELD NOTHING BACK
oh my gosh, i noticed a ton of things. when angel is in the pink outfit, Val is yanking him around, he also blows lust into angles face. likely forcing him into a mood so he'll be more j compliment, there's also scenes of him and val intimate. val isn't just using him for money, he's also using him for his own personal pleasure
The fact I heard Valentino is real got me messed up also yes val does that with angel dust but not just him he does it to a lot more also someone tell me what that list is
So, this episode and this song in particular made Angel my favorite character. I already liked him since he's hilarious but this episode added so much depth to him.
Oh my gosh I just realized something. At 1:45 when Val shows up we see Angel reaching out for something. There were dancers on stage with him in previous shots of the dance. He was reaching out for help.
Yall am i the only one that realised vox and val kissed at the end of this song you can tell because vox has that vals red saliva dripping from his mouth and vox doesnt usually have that on his character design Edit: they were also holding hands
I know it's just a joke but when you're that mentally broken (like in depression) and you're only living 'cause you're not dead, no matter the amount of things you like/love you still feeling the same way
I'm not above a love to cash in Another lover underneath those flashin' lights Another one of those ruthless nights Yeah, yeah, yeah I shoulda guessed that this would happen I shoulda known it when I looked in your red, hot eyes Spewin' all your red, hot lies Yeah, yeah, yeah What's the worst part of this hell? I can only blame myself 'Cause I know you're poison You're feedin' me poison Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow Up your poison I made my choice and Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow Oh-oh, oh-oh Any way you want me, baby That's the way you got me, I'll be yours My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison I got so good at bein' untrue I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear I disassociate, disappear Yeah, yeah, yeah So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp Yeah, I know it's poison You're feedin' me poison I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow Up your poison I made my choice and Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow Oh-oh, oh-oh Any way you want me, baby That's the way you got me, I'll be yours My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison Poison, I'm drownin' in poison I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison Wish I had something to live for tomorrow
If Angel is getting this much abuse, I wonder what happened to Valentino? I have heard that abuse is a cycle and most often times, abusers are victims of abuse. I learn this the hard way when a close friend of mine was abused by an Ex and he ended up carrying on his pain onto me. He would claim, "I can't be abusive because I've had it done to me!" Well he would abuse me. So I left after dealing with it for 6 years. I can see how it does carry over from victim to victim. And unlike him, I got professional help.
Even if he did, he’s still much worse. In that case, Val let the abuse turn him into a monster, while Angel actively tries to keep others from meeting the same fate.
I love this song but tbh the sound effects in it are everything to me. The sound of the fake tail ripping, the camera shots, the noise after valentino blows smoke in his face, the lock at the end, etcetc is so satisfying
I love this song so much and man I feel for this message. As a SV victim that and how much it hurts you on the inside. And for me to dissociate, I literally pretend it never happened for so long because I was just a toddler. I even talk to my therapist thinking saying I think thinking I imagined the whole scenario, but there’s no way I did because how much detail I have remembered about it. So I’m constant questioning myself till this day if it actually happened.
@@Fulfildeer lol are you that sensitive? Its not completely dark its obviously based on heaven and hell and the main setting is hell so there's gonna be a lot of bad things and depressing things but there actual comedy in it, like oh idk Rick and Morty? Which has a lot of mutilation and Morty being traumatized ?
As SA victim the whole song the whole serie is so hard to live but 1:34 to 1:39 is probably the scene I feel the most... crying, punching while you're getting .. well... I know so well it hits so hard...
Girl i know it hurts i love angel dust so much i wanna protect him but i know hes used to this life so just take a stone or a spray or a helicopter to take down this mans p*rn industry ( iam talking about the moth guy , i forgot his name )
This song is even sadder when you can relate to Angel in this song. This song gets me emotional! 🥲 I do not wish this upon anyone ever! But as someone who’s survived toxic relationships, physical/mental abuse, and SA(Tw: rape). I can relate to Angel a lot, and honestly feel like he’d be me if he was a girl. I still relate to this song now because, I get neglected/emotionally hurt by my own parents all the time.
I discovered this song during a time I was shooting up cocaine. This will stay with me forever, it gives me a not so good feeling paired with a sick nostalgia. Don't do drugs you guys, at the very least, don't shoot them up
Tw please I needed to vent: This song and video is my only escape right now, I’ve only watched the 1st episode of Hazbin Hotel but I saw this clip on my recommendations and it broke me because I feel exactly like Angel dust, I’m 21 and I got approached by a 57 yo men that got me in this kind of situation and is trying to include more people into it and I’m genuinely scared but this is the only comfort I can feel right now, it made me realize how bad my situation is by looking at a godamn spider living it
You are not alone. I don't know where you are but you can reach helpline and associations for victims of abuse. There is also the Sorority app, that can make your environment safer. I trust you, I wish you good luck to get out of that abuse, knowing how painful it is. You are not alone and none of this is your fault
It's never too late to leave. You are so much stronger than you can even imagine. I left with what I could carry and I was so scared they were going to notice I was gone and hunt me down. 8 years free this past April 2nd. There are still hard days but it will get better, I promise.
Part of me thinks that this all-nighter was going to happen anyway, and Valentino purposefully made it seem like it only happened because Charlie showed up just to further alienate Angel from the Hotel. I mean, Val was pretty pissed when he learned that he moved.
Man every time I see angel dust deal with the amount of lust, pain n suffering I just feel deeply sympathetic. And now this songs stuck in my head to how short yet catchy it is
I finally got the chance to binge this series with my bf and I lost it feeling so empathetic to this song. I told my bf I had to go to the bathroom afterwards so I didn't worry him with my crying. My current bf is very sweet and we are well on our way to getting close to engaged but my past was rough with a lot of toxic ex's and fwbs and a lot of self esteem issues I'm still working on in therapy. It's definitely hard not to feel a lot in this series but it's an amazing show
@@Esli_slayed_the_runway_xD thanks. Sometimes I end up venting when I don't need to, I'm currently in the process of finding another counselor yet again , hopefully this time with an emphasis on my trauma diagnosis because apparently I struggle more with my trauma than autism but I kinda have a melting pot of at least 4 or 5 different diagnosis
Poison, I'm drownin' in posion I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow Full of posion, I'm sick of the poison Wish I had somethin' to live for tomorrow
I am not a victim of sexual violence in any way, but this song hits really deep for me because I was a victim of a narcissistic abuser. He mistreated me on both an emotional and a physical level. Those lyrics "I shoulda known it when I looked in your red, hot eyes Spewin' all your red, hot lies" really hit me hard. When I first met him he was very loving and caring and managed to make himself look like the victim of EVERYTHING that went wrong in his life. I should have known it couldn't have all been true because he never admitted to any fault on his end. This became more prevalent when he blamed me for shit that was his fault, as well as other people for the same thing. I often times told him what he'd "want to hear" just to avoid another fight. I felt so trapped. So absolutely trapped. We need songs like these for all victims of abuse.
Well **Angel** dust is a made up character you dont have to feel bad for him he dont have real feelings. stuff like this does happen in real life but this is a show...
@@CashMoneyAdampeople can still feel emotional attachments to characters. I would cry for at least a week straight if angel dies without getting redeemed
Addiction is a disease impossible to cure, only treat. I see people calling this out for glorifying abuse but this is a real struggle that many people can't escape. I'm not far into the series but love the character growth so far. 🖤
THE DANCING SEQUENCE IS- AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Val isn't dancing, only controlling. Angel puts on the porn star mask but it slips when Val controls his movements, pulls on his chain. You can see the panic, the fear, discomfort before he quickly "recovers" and puts the mask back on. Back to preforming for Val. AND THE LAST LINES, HIS VOICE CRACKING, THE MASK IS OFF, HES FUCKING SCREAMING FOR HELP. My favourite trope of any character is a sexually abused and used character being overly horny-flirty outside of the abuse. And Val legitimately owning Angel just adds sugar on top. I hate it so much and Im eating it uuuuup. Angel is SUCH a fucking perfect example, they wrote him SO WELL. AHHH
I only like this trope because it’s relatable. Some people like me will become hypersexual as a coping mechanism for our trauma, which I think is what he puts on too.
@msxd1280 currently and have for almost my entire teen till now had that abusive relationship. I just got a one in a lifetime job interview and I'm not gonna mess it up because I need to escape and start my own life free from her "poison" love my mom but I gotta do what's best for me right? Thanks for listening, friend.
As someone who has been abused before this song not only reminds me of my own experiences but also that I am in an abusive relationship now with the West. This song really puts stuff into perspective.
0:48 and go at .25x speed. Really good catch! Also at normal speed the sound effect/potential instrument hits at the same time it’s ripped. Hazbin has _amazing_ sound design (Al’s hand flashing with a subtle noise whenever he calms his shadow back down when it follows his emotions is one of them. So is the fact that while he bleats/“meeps” as a startle reflex when Rosie spins him-and seems to as well because of Mimzy’s sudden hug-he _also_ meeps in surprise when when he leaps backwards to avoid Adam’s axe strike, it’s “meep” then **cry of pain** as he’s hit because he didn’t react _quite_ soon enough.) I’ve gone back through trying to see what subtle sounds the others have, Husker’s a trip with his cat growls, and Vox just _furiously_ having his metal claws clink against his metal frame when he’s So Done that Val didn’t tell him about Al being back first thing gives me life, it’s all so good. And his metal claws clink differently against glass, just like Al and Husk have their organic claws sound different than Vox’s. Edit: Also in the part with the choreography in the… at least last two pictures before Val grabs him, you can hear a camera shutter click but no whine of a flash recharging.

@@Squishyvlogsaandmore exactly! I knew what i was in for when i chose to watch the show cause i knew what Angel Dust's career is, if you don't expect it or like it then why would you subject yourself towards seeing it? people are so strange
I can't explain why but this song just fits my life so well. Not because I'm an addict nor have I been sold like Angel Dust but the poisoned relationships in my life. I changed myself, lose myself in them and can't get away from them. Trying to convince myself it'll get better, imagining myself being elsewhere while everything inside me gets destroyed. Yet I can't seem to find a way out because how can you get away from family? This song, I just love it so much and singing it mostly the part where he screams, feels like my inner child screaming for help. I'm sorry for everyone that suffered a similar fate to Angel and can relate to this song. I hope you get better ❤
So I read another comment, that where it gets to the point of Angel dancing it’s actually his disassociation/ mental escape from reality and what is actually happening to him is on the screen. Which is why his dance/ screen positions match and now I can’t unsee it.
I swear when that came on in the show it literally broke my heart :((( it's so powerful. "the stories gonna end with me dead from your poison." and the end gets me every time. Dman.
The best part about this song is that its an accurate depiction of sexual abuse. I haven't went throught it before but it doesn't glorify or romanticize it. It shows it for what it truly is: Terrifying and disgusting. Edit: Are we not gonna talk about Angel's "OHHH-OHHHH, *OHHHH!-* OHHHH! It was AWESOME.
I watched this when the episode first came out and I didn’t realise how bad it was,I was mainly paying attention to the dance moves and I hadn’t watched any of the episodes at all,now that I have watched the whole thing and know angels story I rewatched this and paid more attention,I started crying and I feel so bad for not realising at the start.
This is the most subtle and well written song in the show next to loser baby I hate that these were the ones people complained about I love this song it feels forced and artificial(well made be still fake) which complements the message that this life is both an addiction and an abusive relationship Angel Dust wants to stop but can’t even act like he doesn’t like it hell he’s breaking down the moment he’s away from the action and on the verge of a breakdown on set anyone who said this condones abuse is simply too childish to read between the lines and oh idk WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO because in between every gratuitous scene you get hints of Angel’s true feelings
I think it forms a perfect combination of being an amazing song, but also being SUPER controversial. Like, this is absolutely the point where this show proves it isn't for kids!
@RIPP3D_J3ANS thank you for bringing that up, cause I thought I would be crazy for saying how this explains human trafficking and addiction so well, which I learned about a few month ago in health class which was before I've seen Hazbin Hotel and as soon as I saw the episode I had flashbacks to the video representations of people who went through addiction or human trafficking or like someone who knew (or lost) someone that went through that, its super fucked up
Wth. I’m traumatized. I listened to the songs before watching the music video and I finally understand. I understand the certain words he says. Like when he says “to resist another gulp” LIKE GURL WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS NOW.
what shocked me the most is that angel dust once actually loved Valentino, (this is my theory) in the beginning of the song when angel dancing with Valentino the lyrics he sings go “addicted to this feeling”, anytime after that he says choking showing that in the beginning he might’ve actually loved being with Valentino. or when he is having yk- with Valentino it actually looks like angel likes it, plus before/ during the scene the lyrics angel sings is “anyways you want me baby that’s the way you got me.” Showing that whatever Valentino wanted he would change for it. Another thing is when angel signed his name in the episode there was a heart next to it, i honestly think that angel signed his name this way because he loved Valentino so when Val showed him the contract again, he looks regret for yesterday one signing it but for also loving/ believing Valentino. Totally unrelated but Also when he throws his cig at kitty just shows angel isn’t the only one he abuses. This is just my theory tho-
Because “Poison” it’s talking about the pink smoke or saliva that Val has which is pheromones, meaning it makes people to attract to him. That’s why he was mad about Charlie, because she was immune to the the Val’s saliva.
this is not a bad theory but it’s a little uneducated and in context to the song and trauma the ‘addiction’ is part of the abuse and isn’t necessarily love. it’s why most victims stay in their relationships- they don’t truly realize how much it is damaging them because those little moments that feel like something real are used as a way to rationalize and normalize everything bad that happens to them. the lyric ‘any way you want me baby’ i personally see in a way that is sort of ruefully submissive as in angel doesn’t want this but he’s going to do it anyway because he’s ‘addicted’ and/or being forced to. trauma and abuse is not something that you can just run away from, especially while in the process of it, because all in there is the mix of so many mental processes that spin and contradict each other and completely mess up the brain. it’s not as simple as ‘one day i loved him the next day i didn’t’
That last note they hit makes me wanna cry ever time I hear it. The voice actors did great.

Valentine only gets Angel to do the porn by roofieing him. Taking away Angel's ability to prevent his body from acting lust-crazed, regardless of how much he wants to be dong anything, absolutely -anything- else.

Recently, I found out that he recontextualizes himself as a dancer on a stage in his head while what's really happening in reality is on the big screens in the background. By doing so he protects his mind from the outside world; his last stand to protect his sense of self.
He hints at this at 1:05 when he says that "I got so good at being untrue" and later 1:12 "I disassociate, disappear". The latter line is taken literally as the basis for the following scenes. This became most evident at 1:33 where he is on the floor of BOTH the mental stage and in reality before pounding his fist on the floor and then switching to him doing the same but on his mental stage.
The moment Val appears the mental stage and the big screens invert their roles and his superstar persona shows up on the screen instead before snapping out of it at 1:49 where he opens his eyes once more once he remembers where he is. Val's presence is so powerful that he's capable of shattering Angel's sanctuary with ease.
This song ages like exquisite wine. Props to the passionate folks at the HH crew for crafting this fine gem.
@@firelight3806yea! my favorite part abt this entire thing is the fact that he's disassociating and essentially maladaptive daydreaming to cope with his abuse. it's such a creative means of discussing the realities of abuse victims
@@firelight3806 great now you made me feel even worse for Angel I didn't notice that before
I noticed some things 'cause my mom is Psychologist and sometimes she talk about some things about patients and I noticed that Angel believes it's entirely his fault ('cause my mom mentioned a patient who's in a toxic relationship and she thinks the same) so "ignoring" the real thing it's good they are portraying so well the kinda situation (especially with a male victim)
rewatch him getting RAILED???????
Watching this for the first time was an experience like none other. I'm obsessed with it. I went in not expecting Hazbin to do much for me but this episode was something else. They knew what they had to do
The First time I watched this, I ran in to the kitchen and stuffed food into my mouth until I couldn’t feel anything and then drew a picture of Val and destroyed it by dumping it in a bucket of vinegar and ripped it in half and than burned the whole thing thing and then putting the ashes on a paper airplane and threw it in the desert.

This episode made me cry. It was so heart-breaking and endearing. I couldn`t bare it and yet I could only cheer for Angel Dust. This song with the accompanying video... oh man, an arrow to the heart.
Anyone who thinks this song and video are glorifying abuse needs to read between the lines and pick up on the subtleties that _carry_ the whole thing. The lyrics are speaking to an abusive relationship that is impossible or too dangerous to escape, and the abused is too used to that life anyway to see any way out. And the visuals, while brutal, clearly show blink and you'll miss it glimpses beneath Angel's mask of being okay, because if he _ever_ shows any signs of not being perfect, Val will just abuse him more. It's a grim but accurate depiction of how it can feel to be trapped by someone who has power over you and is abusing it. (And/or you.)
Completely agree but while watching this I feel like it's anything but subtle. This video was actually pretty graphic. I can't understand how people get this twisted, I had tears by the end of it. 😢
@@kirby_rising The graphics were to give a clear picture of abuse.
people think this song is trying to normalize abuse? this is clearly not being depicted as normal, you don't even need to read between the lines, just look at his face at 1:45
Are there actually people who don't understand this? The song is honestly about as subtle as a brick to the face with its message. Even without the video itself, the lyrics are absolutely seething.
0:57 yep, def being abused 🫣
The scariest thing about all of this is that people like Valentino actually exist in real life.
*Edit:* To everyone who has shared a story about someone who was similar to Valentino, I hope you are doing okay now. I hope that they are no longer in your life and you’re taking your time to recover.

Angel dust isn’t “the worst part”. They haven’t done anything wrong? Using drugs isn’t morally wrong to me.

That song is very sad and catchy at the same time. I feel pretty bad for Angel Dust especially when he had to endure the abuse Valentino gave him.😬
Yes! Me too, this song really shows an amazing reflection of abuse and s3xual assault and it really tells how much pain Angel Dust is going and has went through. It's depressing, but what makes it hurt even more is that it's a realistic representation of what kind of cases ,with these substances in them, these actually are.

This is probably the most iconic song from Hazbin Hotel . A real masterpiece
I Toaly agree bro
alr nerdy ass garbage shoe btw
I relate to him so fuckin much it's painful. When I was in this kind of life, addicted to drugs and being sold like this, this is exactly how it felt. Maybe it's silly to relate so much to a cartoon but Idc I've been a vivzie fan since middle school and I'm glad HH is finally getting the love it deserves. But this song man... It hits so hard. The pain, the masking, the back and forth with yourself and feeling so hopeless and helpless and it's neverending so you use whatever you can get your hands on to drown it out. Heartbreaking
It's definitely not stupid to relate to a cartoon character. They represent people.
It's definitely not silly to relate to a cartoon character, and I'm sorry you went through that. I hope you're in a far better place now.
@johnsweiter hazbin hotel has a pilot that is old but the show came out recently.
i know how ya feel my friend..... when my friend sent me this song... i fucking started to tear up.... but i'm always here for you...
Shit man, I honestly hope you're in a much better place now. I'm sorry you went through that garbage.
The worst part is that all of this sex scenes are not random, they are actually what angel had to do after charlie left that day in the studio
WTF WHYYYYYY
i haven't even watched hazbin hotel or interacted with the community, but that last 20 seconds is honestly selling me into watching it. Whoever voices angel dust is talented asf, that sounded so emotional
Blake Roman! He does an awesome job voicing Angel Dust, he manages to act out both the exuberant mask Angel tends to put on, as well as the super emotional scenes. Would definitely give it a watch!
WHICH ANGLE? mate its angel
@@AriannaAri-l1v NOOO I made a rookie typo (TДT) I fixed it tho so thanks lol
What are you even doing? Go watch it already!

To me, a great song is one where you feel the rhythm and beat when you're in a good mood, and resonate with the lyrics when you're down in the dumps.
They absolutely nailed that with this one.
Watching this episode for the first time was holy SHIT. You can tell from the writing, direction, pacing, music, visuals, acting, everybody working on this knew that if Hazbin Hotel does one thing right, it HAS to be this episode. The way I reacted watching this one for the first time was insane. I'd love to experience those heights again. And what's funny is I didn't care much for the Addicted music video, but THIS gets me hype. I love that they went for it. And the song is an actual banger. THEY HELD NOTHING BACK
oh my gosh, i noticed a ton of things. when angel is in the pink outfit, Val is yanking him around, he also blows lust into angles face. likely forcing him into a mood so he'll be more j compliment, there's also scenes of him and val intimate. val isn't just using him for money, he's also using him for his own personal pleasure
There’s a chance that Val was blowing his cigarette smoke which may be laced with his saliva which is a love potion/roofie
@@notchpoodles5864 valid point, but we've seen that pink smoke in other instances. Especially in that episode, Ie. The pink chain
@@ameliajade7942it’s heavily implied that the love potion that Velvette makes is made using Valentino’s drool.
The fact I heard Valentino is real got me messed up also yes val does that with angel dust but not just him he does it to a lot more also someone tell me what that list is
Oh a huuuuuundred %
So, this episode and this song in particular made Angel my favorite character. I already liked him since he's hilarious but this episode added so much depth to him.
i feel REALLY fucking bad for this guy. like,at first he was just the sex guy and it's hell so it makes sense but...by god.
Oh my gosh I just realized something. At 1:45 when Val shows up we see Angel reaching out for something. There were dancers on stage with him in previous shots of the dance.
He was reaching out for help.
Yall am i the only one that realised vox and val kissed at the end of this song you can tell because vox has that vals red saliva dripping from his mouth and vox doesnt usually have that on his character design
Edit: they were also holding hands
That red saliva has always been apart of voxs character design when he feels devious or malicious, but yeah they were holding hands.
I just noticed Val has the saliva too, I think the saliva is on Val and it came from vox, rather than the other way around
I always thought he just got out of a fight or something but now that’s making me question it
That's blood, and it was always there since the pilot
Oh and (spoilers)
They kiss at the end of the show

If Angel is getting this much abuse, I wonder what happened to Valentino?
I have heard that abuse is a cycle and most often times, abusers are victims of abuse. I learn this the hard way when a close friend of mine was abused by an Ex and he ended up carrying on his pain onto me. He would claim, "I can't be abusive because I've had it done to me!" Well he would abuse me. So I left after dealing with it for 6 years. I can see how it does carry over from victim to victim.
And unlike him, I got professional help.
I assume at some point Valentino was in a situation like Angel is considering that he has all those posters of him as a stripper in his room
Not all abusers have a sob backstoryy
Even if he did, he’s still much worse. In that case, Val let the abuse turn him into a monster, while Angel actively tries to keep others from meeting the same fate.
I just started watching Hazbin Hotel and I felt so bad for Angel when I saw this episode
Same I started 1 day AgO
Same I feel msg bad for angel dust
Same fr😢
I started after the youtube shorts but the more you watch the more you hate Valentino for abusing Angel.
😊@Digital-downloads
I love this song but tbh the sound effects in it are everything to me.
The sound of the fake tail ripping, the camera shots, the noise after valentino blows smoke in his face, the lock at the end, etcetc is so satisfying
YES!!!!!! Someone else has notice the sound design in Hazbin!!!!!!!!!
I love this song so much and man I feel for this message. As a SV victim that and how much it hurts you on the inside. And for me to dissociate, I literally pretend it never happened for so long because I was just a toddler. I even talk to my therapist thinking saying I think thinking I imagined the whole scenario, but there’s no way I did because how much detail I have remembered about it. So I’m constant questioning myself till this day if it actually happened.

I do not wish this upon anyone ever!
But as someone who’s survived toxic relationships, physical/mental abuse, and SA(Tw: rape). I can relate to Angel a lot, and honestly feel like he’d be me if he was a girl.
I still relate to this song now because, I get neglected/emotionally hurt by my own parents all the time.

Tw please I needed to vent:
This song and video is my only escape right now, I’ve only watched the 1st episode of Hazbin Hotel but I saw this clip on my recommendations and it broke me because I feel exactly like Angel dust, I’m 21 and I got approached by a 57 yo men that got me in this kind of situation and is trying to include more people into it and I’m genuinely scared but this is the only comfort I can feel right now, it made me realize how bad my situation is by looking at a godamn spider living it
You are not alone. I don't know where you are but you can reach helpline and associations for victims of abuse. There is also the Sorority app, that can make your environment safer. I trust you, I wish you good luck to get out of that abuse, knowing how painful it is. You are not alone and none of this is your fault
I'm so sorry, I hope you get to safety
I don’t know what you believe in but I hope it makes you feel better that I’m praying for you. No one deserves to be treated like this.
It's never too late to leave. You are so much stronger than you can even imagine. I left with what I could carry and I was so scared they were going to notice I was gone and hunt me down. 8 years free this past April 2nd. There are still hard days but it will get better, I promise.
Please escape get help call the cops
Part of me thinks that this all-nighter was going to happen anyway, and Valentino purposefully made it seem like it only happened because Charlie showed up just to further alienate Angel from the Hotel. I mean, Val was pretty pissed when he learned that he moved.
Man every time I see angel dust deal with the amount of lust, pain n suffering I just feel deeply sympathetic.
And now this songs stuck in my head to how short yet catchy it is
I finally got the chance to binge this series with my bf and I lost it feeling so empathetic to this song. I told my bf I had to go to the bathroom afterwards so I didn't worry him with my crying. My current bf is very sweet and we are well on our way to getting close to engaged but my past was rough with a lot of toxic ex's and fwbs and a lot of self esteem issues I'm still working on in therapy.

I would kill for that kind of body type Angel's got. Like DAMN, he got the golden ratio I strive for.

It's also cool to have twice as many hands. How expressive he can be!
@@nuclearcatbaby1131Technically he has 3x as many hands as humans. He keeps the third pair tucked away most of the time.
Wasn't expecting something that dark especially with Angel. I just thought he's that Barney Stinson-like comic relief character. That song hit hard.
Welcome to the "Holy sht angel is suffering. Did not expect that. Definitely did not expect that" squad
I am not a victim of sexual violence in any way, but this song hits really deep for me because I was a victim of a narcissistic abuser. He mistreated me on both an emotional and a physical level. Those lyrics "I shoulda known it when I looked in your red, hot eyes Spewin' all your red, hot lies" really hit me hard. When I first met him he was very loving and caring and managed to make himself look like the victim of EVERYTHING that went wrong in his life. I should have known it couldn't have all been true because he never admitted to any fault on his end. This became more prevalent when he blamed me for shit that was his fault, as well as other people for the same thing. I often times told him what he'd "want to hear" just to avoid another fight. I felt so trapped. So absolutely trapped. We need songs like these for all victims of abuse.
this song has no business being THIS fucking good, I am genuinely going to add it to my playlist
Bro the last part got me crying literally!

Addiction is a disease impossible to cure, only treat. I see people calling this out for glorifying abuse but this is a real struggle that many people can't escape.
I'm not far into the series but love the character growth so far. 🖤
THE DANCING SEQUENCE IS- AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Val isn't dancing, only controlling. Angel puts on the porn star mask but it slips when Val controls his movements, pulls on his chain. You can see the panic, the fear, discomfort before he quickly "recovers" and puts the mask back on. Back to preforming for Val.
AND THE LAST LINES, HIS VOICE CRACKING, THE MASK IS OFF, HES FUCKING SCREAMING FOR HELP.
My favourite trope of any character is a sexually abused and used character being overly horny-flirty outside of the abuse. And Val legitimately owning Angel just adds sugar on top. I hate it so much and Im eating it uuuuup. Angel is SUCH a fucking perfect example, they wrote him SO WELL. AHHH
I only like this trope because it’s relatable. Some people like me will become hypersexual as a coping mechanism for our trauma, which I think is what he puts on too.
Why does this song resonate with me so deeply 😭?

Peep the hearts all over Angel's body to show Valentino owns him - hearts being a signature part of his look
As someone who has been abused before this song not only reminds me of my own experiences but also that I am in an abusive relationship now with the West. This song really puts stuff into perspective.
West?
The way Valentino rips of his spider abdomen ..
0:48 and go at .25x speed. Really good catch! Also at normal speed the sound effect/potential instrument hits at the same time it’s ripped.
Hazbin has _amazing_ sound design (Al’s hand flashing with a subtle noise whenever he calms his shadow back down when it follows his emotions is one of them. So is the fact that while he bleats/“meeps” as a startle reflex when Rosie spins him-and seems to as well because of Mimzy’s sudden hug-he _also_ meeps in surprise when when he leaps backwards to avoid Adam’s axe strike, it’s “meep” then **cry of pain** as he’s hit because he didn’t react _quite_ soon enough.) I’ve gone back through trying to see what subtle sounds the others have, Husker’s a trip with his cat growls, and Vox just _furiously_ having his metal claws clink against his metal frame when he’s So Done that Val didn’t tell him about Al being back first thing gives me life, it’s all so good. And his metal claws clink differently against glass, just like Al and Husk have their organic claws sound different than Vox’s.
Edit: Also in the part with the choreography in the… at least last two pictures before Val grabs him, you can hear a camera shutter click but no whine of a flash recharging.
I literally just caught it and winced
Wait holy cr_p when?
Edit: 0:46

Yet I can't seem to find a way out because how can you get away from family?
This song, I just love it so much and singing it mostly the part where he screams, feels like my inner child screaming for help.
I'm sorry for everyone that suffered a similar fate to Angel and can relate to this song.
I hope you get better ❤
The fact that the clackerboard says "420 69" 👌
Vivziepop humor
Okay but what does 420 mean?
@@erinjannamacalawa4991uhmmm 😅
In american culture that means time to get another portion of drugs - especially when we talking about marijuana,@@erinjannamacalawa4991

Wait wrong franchise. 420 means cannabis
So I read another comment, that where it gets to the point of Angel dancing it’s actually his disassociation/ mental escape from reality and what is actually happening to him is on the screen. Which is why his dance/ screen positions match and now I can’t unsee it.
I swear when that came on in the show it literally broke my heart :((( it's so powerful. "the stories gonna end with me dead from your poison." and the end gets me every time. Dman.
My bird LOVES this song he always dances to it AND IT IS SO CUTE
You should post a video of it!
Aww! Birb ☺️
@@Raventeawrites Maybe 😅
Did you know the last paragraph of this song is not angel dust,but it is Anthony talking. It makes me sad to see the abuse he is going through 😔
I never really cry to tv shows but this is a different story
I’ve been thinking, what would have happened if Val treated Angel more respectfully???
Angel would be at the hotel for a different reason
@@12roses8true
Maybe THEN Val would actually be just a little more like Ozzie (who hates love potions and likes Consent)
@@notchpoodles5864Ozzie would body Val’s ass as soon as he found out what he was doing to Angel
They Would Have Alot Of Sex
the scene where he locked the door because he didnt want valentino to come inside the room is so sad to me
The best part about this song is that its an accurate depiction of sexual abuse. I haven't went throught it before but it doesn't glorify or romanticize it. It shows it for what it truly is: Terrifying and disgusting.
Edit: Are we not gonna talk about Angel's "OHHH-OHHHH, *OHHHH!-* OHHHH! It was AWESOME.
1:33 bro thinks he’s Venom LOL
I watched this when the episode first came out and I didn’t realise how bad it was,I was mainly paying attention to the dance moves and I hadn’t watched any of the episodes at all,now that I have watched the whole thing and know angels story I rewatched this and paid more attention,I started crying and I feel so bad for not realising at the start.
This is the most subtle and well written song in the show next to loser baby I hate that these were the ones people complained about I love this song it feels forced and artificial(well made be still fake) which complements the message that this life is both an addiction and an abusive relationship Angel Dust wants to stop but can’t even act like he doesn’t like it hell he’s breaking down the moment he’s away from the action and on the verge of a breakdown on set anyone who said this condones abuse is simply too childish to read between the lines and oh idk WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO because in between every gratuitous scene you get hints of Angel’s true feelings
Прошло 7 месяцев, а я до сих пор не могу смотреть на это без слёз... Такое солнышко, как мне его жаль 😭
The way this video makes me uncomfortable is insane
@RIPP3D_J3ANS this
I think it forms a perfect combination of being an amazing song, but also being SUPER controversial. Like, this is absolutely the point where this show proves it isn't for kids!
@RIPP3D_J3ANS thank you for bringing that up, cause I thought I would be crazy for saying how this explains human trafficking and addiction so well, which I learned about a few month ago in health class which was before I've seen Hazbin Hotel and as soon as I saw the episode I had flashbacks to the video representations of people who went through addiction or human trafficking or like someone who knew (or lost) someone that went through that, its super fucked up
@@DorvahnIf this is the most controversial scene in a show in Hell, then this is safe edge.
One quote I️ heard about this vid is “Art is meant to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” And yeah that sounds about right
For people wondering "WHERE'S HIS ____?!" it's retractable, just like his arms 💪
Can we all agree that this is the best song in hazbin hotel?
Agreed.
Yes
Yes
Yes
@@StarlightLuvsInumaki how about addict
Wth. I’m traumatized. I listened to the songs before watching the music video and I finally understand. I understand the certain words he says. Like when he says “to resist another gulp” LIKE GURL WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS NOW.
Poor angel dust. He didn’t deserve this. I cried watching scene. This was very hard the watch ngl.
Is it bad that I was in love with this song before even seeing Hazbin Hotel?
Update just finished watching and it was amazing
No!? Not really there is nothing wrong with it. It is really a beautiful song.
what shocked me the most is that angel dust once actually loved Valentino, (this is my theory) in the beginning of the song when angel dancing with Valentino the lyrics he sings go “addicted to this feeling”, anytime after that he says choking showing that in the beginning he might’ve actually loved being with Valentino. or when he is having yk- with Valentino it actually looks like angel likes it, plus before/ during the scene the lyrics angel sings is “anyways you want me baby that’s the way you got me.” Showing that whatever Valentino wanted he would change for it.
Another thing is when angel signed his name in the episode there was a heart next to it, i honestly think that angel signed his name this way because he loved Valentino so when Val showed him the contract again, he looks regret for yesterday one signing it but for also loving/ believing Valentino.
Totally unrelated but Also when he throws his cig at kitty just shows angel isn’t the only one he abuses.
This is just my theory tho-
Because “Poison” it’s talking about the pink smoke or saliva that Val has which is pheromones, meaning it makes people to attract to him. That’s why he was mad about Charlie, because she was immune to the the Val’s saliva.
yeah probabily because she had a girlfriend but also because she was born in hell. But it also could be because she didn’t make a deal with him
The victim like the abused in some way of course, they don’t just fall for the trap
this is not a bad theory but it’s a little uneducated and in context to the song and trauma the ‘addiction’ is part of the abuse and isn’t necessarily love. it’s why most victims stay in their relationships- they don’t truly realize how much it is damaging them because those little moments that feel like something real are used as a way to rationalize and normalize everything bad that happens to them. the lyric ‘any way you want me baby’ i personally see in a way that is sort of ruefully submissive as in angel doesn’t want this but he’s going to do it anyway because he’s ‘addicted’ and/or being forced to. trauma and abuse is not something that you can just run away from, especially while in the process of it, because all in there is the mix of so many mental processes that spin and contradict each other and completely mess up the brain. it’s not as simple as ‘one day i loved him the next day i didn’t’
1:18 “Oooo. That’s not good.”
Edit: thanks for the “6” likes, man.
Edit: thanks for the “7” likes.
At 1:57 angel was heartbroken and angel was forced to make charlie leave
