Lucifer - Hazbin Hotel CRT

Hmm, due to not being a viewer of the show I'm not sure how seriously we're supposed to take the visuals shown in this song especially as much of Lucifer's portion appears to be in some otherwise undefined third space. Would there be any statements outlining that we're supposed to take all the songs at face value or showings of these abilities outside of the music?

I think you’re asking the canonicity of the songs it seems. I believe the songs are canon to the story, an example is Alastor warping the entire hotel just to do his musical number. I can’t find the link where the creator says the characters can hear the music though.

Your concern is valid, but we've consistently taken stuff happening in songs as face value, generally for the reasons that they constantly happen outside of the songs and there being a direct statement like Username_uhhhIdontknow mentioned.
 
Andrew Underberg: It’s also diagetic. [The characters] know they're singing. That's a key difference between the song and—

Haft: And many other songs. I mean, I think Charlie is diegetically singing in “Happy Day in Hell.” They're diegetically singing in “Loser, Baby.”

Underberg: But the point of the singing [in “Hear My Hope”] is that their singing serves a plot point, regardless of what words they're singing.

You could certainly say that for the choral parts of the song, as the Overlords join in one by one. But are Alastor and Rosie consciously singing? Are Lute and Abel?

Underberg:
I think it has those sections where the song functions more like other songs, in which there’s maybe an argument, kind of an internal dialogue.
"Hell's Greatest Dad" appears to be one of these diegetic songs, given they outright acknowledge the fact they're singing in it.

But the visuals? Definitely not real given that when Mimzy interrupted their song they're right back in the hotel.
