Astray
The A.C.A.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You & me, we could last forever & ever
We're always like lovers
But the truth has been always stranger than the fiction
Of the rainbow we watched together, how clear
Hoped that it'd shine forever
But like my dreams it faded & disappeared, oh will it reappear?
Let's sort this thru, it's only me & you
Stop running away are the words you always say
But our love has gone astray
And in this life or another
Are we meant for each other? I'm not so sure
But one thing is assured
I'm not running away
Not running away
But the games that we play & the lies that we say
Have only lead us astray
Did you hear what i said?
I'm not running away...
The lyrics to "Astray" by The A.C.A.B. tell the story of a couple that has been together for a while and thought they could last forever. However, they have been hit with the reality that their relationship has soured, and things are not as they once seemed. The description of their relationship as "always like lovers" contrasts with the truth that is "stranger than the fiction." The singer remembers the bright colors of the rainbow they watched together but acknowledges that their hopes have faded, leaving them uncertain about their future together. The chorus repeats the phrase "let's sort this thru, it's only me & you" - a plea from the singer to work through their problems instead of running away - but also recognizes that their love has "gone astray." The song ultimately ends with the singer refusing to run away but acknowledging that the "games we play & the lies that we say have only lead us astray."
The lyrics express a sense of nostalgia that is both wistful and regretful while grappling with the uncertainty of the future. The song creates a sense of tension as the singer acknowledges their relationship's problems and their fears about what will happen. However, it also offers hope with the idea that the singer is not giving up on their relationship and is willing to work to make it right.
