I can't stay
I can't stay in pain
I don't think I can stay so
Oh you make me wanna clip in wounds baby
I don't think I can stay so




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ATB's "I Can't Stand..." are clearly about a relationship that is causing the singer pain. In the opening lines, he declares "I can't stay in pain," indicating that he is no longer willing to put up with the negative emotions that this connection brings. He goes on to state that his partner is causing him so much distress that it makes him want to "clip in wounds," which is a disturbing image that further emphasizes the intensity of his feelings.


The chorus of the song repeats this sentiment, with the singer lamenting that he "can't stay so" in this relationship any longer. The use of this phrase and the repetition of it further reinforces the idea that he has reached a breaking point and cannot continue to endure the pain that his partner is causing him.


Overall, the lyrics to "I Can't Stand..." are a poignant meditation on the toll that a difficult relationship can take on one's emotional state. The raw emotion that the singer brings to these words makes it clear that he has experienced this pain firsthand and is speaking from a place of deep personal truth.

Another great track from ATB! Simple lyrics but superb backing and pitched vocals which convey the emotional message of song perfectly. ATB is arguably the best DJ and mixer alive in the trance genre.

This might be the most original song ATB has ever made. Looking back at Dedicated... I kind of get the feeling that it is a very creative album. I mean it does have some radio hits like "Hold You" or "Let You Go", but then you listen to something like "I Can´t Stand... or "Remember" and it just takes you to a completely different place.
