Interesting facts and trivia about Death Is Not Defeat. By Songfacts®.

This is the opening track of Holy Hell, an album that details the anguish The Architects lived through following the death from skin cancer of guitarist and principal songwriter Tom Searle in 2016. This defiant rejection of sorrow finds his twin brother Dan questioning for what purpose it is that we have an inherent need to stay alive. However, rather than validating suicidal thoughts he explained it's a message intended for Tom. "I just wanted to say to my brother, it's OK that you died," Dan Searle told The Guardian. "You haven't let anyone down by dying - that's just the way it is and I hope when I die I'll see you."
