About this song
The Past Is Dead was released on March 25, 2021 as the second single from Beartooth's fourth studio album, Below, a week after the first single Devastation. Frontman Caleb Shomo said it was one of the earliest songs written for the album, and the band spent over two years working on it before settling on the version that appeared on Below. The track was given a music video directed by Wyatt Clough, which premiered the following day.
What it's about
The song is about being unable to move on from traumatic experiences. Shomo drew on the mental strain he went through during 2020, and the music video is meant to visualize that struggle.
