the inspiration for the song Can't Give comes from Maria and her husbond Geert, a war veteran who served back in the 90s in the Balkans.
Maria has written a poem not only for Geert, but for the whole world, where she tells her side of the story.
Claus Flindt Bjerg has translated the poem and SUPERSCUM has written the music.
The battle for the family, the battle with the inner demons and the battle against ones own mind, is just a tiny part of what the song Can't Give is about.
Lyrics:
SUPERSCUM - Can’t Give
There’s a heavy dark shade hanging over us
Black flag of the past got you all at last
Once you stood strong and tall by my side
Now you lay down in demise and you won’t even rise
I can’t give anymore
Oh I can’t give anymore
I see my love dissolve in front of me
I see you crumble piece by piece
On the good days you’re awake shaking of the ache
You got your demons on the fighting side
I can’t give anymore
Oh I can’t give anymore
Night pulls you back with greedy claws
You’ll never find peace from terrors calls
Desperation and fear threatens this family
So I hold on intensively
I’m out here on the other side
Behind your wounded and tested mind
I’ll wait for you my soldier blue
Your home is the heart that shines on through
I can’t give anymore
Oh I can’t give anymore
I can’t give anymore
Oh I can’t give anymore
