This song is titled Voldemort because it is about mental illness. A lot of people never like to talk about depression similar to how in the Harry Potter world no one dares to say the name Voldemort.
“Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of...
[Verse 1]
I remember the first night that she said
"Oh, maybe I can do this on my own"
And despite all the reassurances and recurrences
You will not be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that you're holding out for better weather
And I can't promise you that I'll be 'round forever
If there's one thing I know, it's that we're good together
(If there's one thing I know, it's that we're good together)
[Chorus]
And I will try to hold you up
Through those times when you are gone
Despite the weather, it gets better
You won't do this alone
(Do this alone)
[Verse 2]
I remember the first night that she went
To find her little place inside this world
I won't forget the way she broke her tape down
She needed it now, she ran into it all
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that you're holding out for better weather
And I can't promise you that I'll be 'round forever
If there's one thing I know, it's that we're good together
(If there's one thing I know, it's that we're good together)
[Chorus]
And I will try to hold you up
Through those times when you are gone
Despite the weather, it gets better
You won't do this alone
[Bridge]
I will try to hold you up
Through those times when you are gone
Despite the weather, it gets better
You won't do this alone
[Chorus]
I will try to hold you up
Through those times when you are gone
Despite the weather, it gets better
You won't do this alone
[Outro]
Oh, do this alone
Oh, do this alone
Oh, do this alone
Oh, do this alone

Lead vocalist and bassist Jayden Seeley said in an interview with CelebMix
So, it’s a little lame but I’m a massive Harry Potter fan, and we all know the line from Hermione Granger which is “fear of the name only increases the fear of the thing itself”. So it’s the idea that mental illness is Volde...
Vocalist Jayden Seeley explained to Kerrang!:
I had this vision for the song, where I wanted it to sound happy and carefree, and having that sound of revelry at the end contributed to it.
We actually recorded that in a bar called Frank’s in Sydney – and nobody knew we were recording. We just sat i...
