I've been wanting to make a song about Helluva Boss for a while now, and doing an album about monsters seemed like as good an excuse as any. The biggest reason though is that it's currently one of my favorite shows of all time, and I simply can't get enough. One of my favorite dynamics in the dysfunctional world of the show is the afterlife marriage of Millie and Moxxie, which inspired this particular song. It ponders Moxxie's perspective as a clumsy and conflicted demon, appreciating his deadly partner in sin.

Lyrics:

I deserve to be here
But no one could deserve you
You're an intervention
A hallucination of truth
When I need a fix-up
I feel you in my veins
You're the spark I needed
To start a whole new flame

Straight into my heart
I am blown apart
Like a bullet to my brain
You tear the world away and
When it goes to shit
I can take a hit
'Cause you're here keeping me sane
A spirit like a storm
With you I'm reborn
At the bottom of the chain
It starts to look like heaven
Cut and bleed me dry
Take another life
You're the killer of my pain

Ripped apart by something
Inside me left from those days
Walking with the earthbound
I'd rather be in your gaze
You're the one elixir
Laced with the sickness I need
And I'm gonna take you
When my affliction bleeds

Straight into my heart
I am blown apart
Like a bullet to my brain
You tear the world away and
When it goes to shit
I can take a hit
'Cause you're here keeping me sane
A spirit like a storm
With you I'm reborn
At the bottom of the chain
It starts to look like heaven
Cut and bleed me dry
Take another life
You're the killer of my pain

Risking life
I will never let go
Never let go
And while you're kicking ass I'll be there kicking too
Through the blood and strife
We will do what we know
Do what we know
Like a rose's thorns
On your hellbound horns
My thriller
Painkiller
I'll let you in to cure me
Even if it's gonna hurt me

Straight into my heart
I am blown apart
Like a bullet to my brain
You tear the world away and
When it goes to shit
I can take a hit
'Cause you're here keeping me sane
A spirit like a storm
With you I'm reborn
At the bottom of the chain
It starts to look like heaven
Cut and bleed me dry
Take another life
You're the killer of my pain

"You're crying?"
"The love these two little imps have for each other in the face of the worst place in existence got to me alright"

Now we need moxxie to cover this masterpiece

[PhoenixKnight]

You know, I never would’ve associated this song with Helluva Boss, but in retrospect it makes a ton of sense. Incredible work and incredible music like always!

Aviators on a Helluva Boss song.

Not what I expected life to give me today, but here it is!

[Kingcole]

Synth Rock AND Helluva Boss are two things I didn't think would mix together, but somehow, this genius did it...

The afterlife may be dysfunctional and filled with cutthroats and maniacs, but Moxxie and Millie's marriage holds true, even in the most dire of times and this song captures that feeling perfectly.

No matter the pain that either of them go through, their true love helps get them through it...while they keep doing what assassins do best!

Amazing job, Aviators.

First Teeth, now this? The Lovecraft and Bloodborne songs are still my absolute favorites, but I'm really enjoying these new synth songs!

Note: I just heard the bridge, and it was breathtaking. You can really hit those low notes! You're definitely at your best when writing about things you like.

"This song sounds beautiful"
Aviators: "Yes"

[harmonic]

Millie and Moxie are relationship goals 😄

This song is a banger!

[SelkieGirl]

Virgin Harley x Joker, vs Chad Millie and Moxxie.

[PokemonHaloFan]

Perfectly describes the relationship between Moxxie and Millie.

[JoshuaMonjin]

This actually caused me to binge watch all of helluva boss in a week and am now a fan.

[QueenSheo]

modern mythology is an absolutely fantastic album. all of these songs slap

[Bricriu-gjdd]

Oh my gosh, yes. Thank you so much for this Aviators, this is gonna be a new favorite for sure!

[Flamus__]

The king is back and with another Amazing song as always

[namelessnavnls]

This one hits different with what we learned in the new Moxxie episode.

[marekbykowy]

"I'll let you in to cure me, even if its gonna hurt me"
.... I SEE WHAT YOU DID HERE!

...genius. simply genius.

[WolfoxxReactions]

This song is underrated in the Helluva Boss community. It is very amazing and deserves way more views. Let's get it too 1 mil or more!

[smugbowkid]

Of course, Aviators knows how to put out a song I’m sure to like, and I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be this. I love the idea of Moxxie being conflicted too.

[leonardgodina]

Let's go another song from the one and only Aviators!! Love this vibe from this song I love the synthwave from you and alternative rock 🤘

[OkamiAurora]

The lyrics make so much sense now... Somehow you always write amazing songs that sound great without even needing to know the fandom they come from.
