Estranged
The Slackers Lyrics

I ran away to a place you could not go
I fled to a location that you could not follow, not even by observing my eyes. I keep this place unknown, because I've accepted this as my life, and I would rather live this way than speak out and reveal what's inside me.

Somewhere not even my eyes would
Not even my own eyes betray and give away my secret location.

Not betray or ready show
I do not want to reveal my secret place.

I've resigned to live my life this way
I've accepted that I will live like this, in the same position, without revealing what's inside.

Or else regretfully convey
Otherwise, I would have to speak sadly and bitterly about my feelings.

What's already taken hold
What has already firmly grasped and controlled me.

She's really become estranged of heart
Unfortunately, she has distanced herself from her emotions and feelings.

Knew right away right from the start
From the beginning, she was aware that her feelings were not reciprocated.

As on a stage you play the part
Just like an actor on a stage, you're pretending and hiding your true self from me.

You know you know you know
You are aware of what you're doing and how it's affecting me.

Since we've become estranged
Ever since we have distanced ourselves emotionally.

When I came back to chilled me to the bone
Upon returning, it was distressing and upsetting beyond words.

The streets rolled up as tears we draw
The deserted streets were akin to how tears flow silently down our face.

Casting relief as if to stone
I tried to ease the pain, but it was as if my attempts could not make a difference.

She's like a page from out, of good old pompeii
She seems ancient and static, like a page from an old book.

__ your coffee cup
This line is unclear and has no definitive meaning or context.

To walk a mile is to say
It requires an extensive amount of effort and commitment to convey what is inside oneself.

It felt like treason
It felt like a betrayal.

You had your reason for turning your back in the afterglow
You had a justification for leaving and distancing yourself after being intimate with me.

I thought that you outta know
I believed that you should be aware of how I felt about this situation.

Two weeks together
We spent two weeks together.

And that lasts forever
The memory of those two weeks and what we shared will last forever.

You know it's so sad that you have to go
It's unfortunate that you had to leave.

Since we've become estranged of heart
Ever since we have distanced ourselves emotionally.

Knew right away right from the start
From the beginning, she was aware that her feelings were not reciprocated.

As on a stage you play the part
Just like an actor on a stage, you're pretending and hiding your true self from me.

You know you know you know
You are aware of what you're doing and how it's affecting me.

Since we've become estranged
Ever since we have distanced ourselves emotionally.
