Hazbin Hotel with JettâMusic Number: Hanginâ in the Balance
Jett stood alone in a secluded section of Hell as an illusion demon, his hooded white cloak billowing behind him. The music began, sounding like a mix of Chinese and rock. Then Jett began singing.
Jett: đľThe sun is sinking low, painting gold on the wire. Iâm standing at the edge of the truth and desire!đľ
Jett watched the sun set.
Jett: đľHeartâs like a battlefield with words I canât defend! (Words I canât defend!) With every choice I make, it feels like the end! When Iâve been walking lines too thin too see, caught between whatâs right and who I need to be! Who I need to be!đľ
The chorus begun. And Jettâs gaze was ahead.
Jett: đľIâm hanging in the balance⌠between the dark and light! One step from the silence, one breath from the fight cutting through my soul! Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât know, I donât really know. Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât really knowâŚâŚđľ
Irene, who was nearby, had glanced up, noticing Jettâs solo music number. She stood off to the side.
Jett closed his red eyes as memories of Leona came flooding back. Lingering regrets still chase him all the way down here to Hell.
Jett: đľYour voice, it echoes like a ghost in the rain⌠every what if burning like a flameâŚđľ
Memories of being trapped in a frozen prison outside the multiverse for 7,000 years accompany the ones of Leonaâs face.
Jett: đľTime keeps on ticking, but the clock wonât speak! Iâm chasing answers I may never keep, and who I need to be!đľ
The chorus begun again, and Jett opened his eyes. Ireneâs hands soon gone to her chest. She felt bad for the illusion demon before her.
Jett: đľIâm hanging in the balance⌠between the dark and light! One step from the silence, one breath from the fight cutting through my soul! Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât know, I donât really know. Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât really knowâŚâŚđľ
On the guitar solo, Jett wandered off by himself. He was unsure what he can possibly do now. Or where he can go now. He doesnât have anywhere else left to go. Jett sang the bridge.
Jett: đľThe sun is sinking low, and Iâm still on the wire⌠cutting through my soul, will I rise or fall? Your voice echoes like a ghost in the rain⌠will I rise or will I fall? Will I rise or fall? Will I rise or fall?đľ
Jett: đľIâm hanging in the balance⌠between the dark and light! One step from the silence, one breath from the fight cutting through my soul! Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât know, I donât really know. Will I rise up or will I fall? âCause I donât really know! Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât know, I donât really know. Will I rise up or will I fall? I donât really knowâŚâŚđľ
Ireneâs gaze was fixed on Jett as he expressed his uncertainty through this song. Lifeâs been kicking his ass so hard he isnât certain about himself anymore. Every day in Hell, Jett has hung in the balance. He still had now. Life is cruel. And the afterlife hasnât been any different. That was when Irene hugged him from behind, moved by Jettâs song. âHow long have you been hanging in the balance?â Irene asked. âSeven thousand years,â he responded, his eyes going downcast, âand I still have nowhere else left to goâŚâŚâŚâ All this time, Jett had to burn the memories and drown his nightmares just to breathe.
