Synopsis

The video opens on a car engulfed in flames, then follows Shaun Morgan as he walks through a quiet small town. He sings while passing detached residents and glimpses of the other band members performing along the route. The unsettling atmosphere suggests the aftermath of a violent relationship, with Morgan moving steadily toward the burning wreck. The clip's central visual trick gradually becomes clear: the destruction is shown in reverse, ending with Morgan approaching and entering the car as it appears to reassemble.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Driven Under" was released as the second single from Seether's 2002 debut album, "Disclaimer," in March 2003.
  • The song had already appeared on "Fragile," the 2000 album Seether recorded under its former name, Saron Gas. It was rerecorded for "Disclaimer."
  • Shaun Morgan has said that the song was inspired by childhood memories of domestic conflict involving his parents and a gun.
  • The car sequence uses reverse-motion imagery: what initially looks like an explosion gradually plays backward, with the wreck rebuilding as Morgan approaches it.
  • The video was released during the band's early breakthrough period in the United States and is notable for using a narrative, cinematic concept rather than relying solely on performance footage.
  • The music video runs for approximately five minutes and includes appearances by Pat Callahan and Nick Oshiro, who were associated with Seether's early-2000s lineup.
