Feeding the Basilisk
Voldemort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Cover of Save Ginny Weasley by Harry and the Potters)

Are you scared to walk through the hallways?
Are you worried that the spiders run away?
Are you petrified
Of being petrified?
Are we going to have to close the school for good?
We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to purge the school from all mudblood scum
We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to open the Chamber again

It's been freaking out all the kids
It even took out Mrs. Norris
Ate up the film in Colin's camera
And petrified that mudblood
Hermione Granger

We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to purge the school from all mudblood scum
We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to open the Chamber again

You can't just dazzle my Serpent
You can't summon Dumbledore's chicken
You can't stab my Horcrux diary
And get away with it

We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to purge the school from all mudblood scum
We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to open the Chamber again

We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk
We've got to purge the school from all mudblood scum
We've got to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk




We've got to open the Chamber again
We've got to open the Chamber again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Voldemort's song Feeding the Basilisk are a dark and chilling depiction of the evil intentions of Lord Voldemort. The opening lines of the song address the fear and worry that students at Hogwarts are experiencing due to the presence of the Basilisk, which has been causing havoc throughout the school. Voldemort then advocates for the need to feed Ginny Weasley to the Basilisk and purge the school of all mudbloods, claiming that it's the only way to open the Chamber of Secrets again.


The lyrics evoke a sense of dread and foreboding, as they portray Voldemort's ruthlessness and willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. The mention of Mrs. Norris and Colin's camera being destroyed by the Basilisk, and Hermione being petrified, are all references to events that occurred in the book "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", where the creature was unleashed by none other than Voldemort himself. The lyrics reveal Voldemort's intentions to use the Basilisk as a weapon and to target those he deems unworthy, which includes anyone who is not a pureblood wizard.


In conclusion, this song is a disturbing reminder of the twisted and malevolent nature of Voldemort, and his willingness to use any means necessary to achieve his ultimate goal of gaining power and control.
