Literally "It looks like the story has been derailed."
In English we have an idiom "rabbit trail" or "bunny trail" that basically is the same concept. It's probably better to use that - however I don't know if that is used globally. In North America it's used often.
I.e. (after talking for a while and going off topic...) "We're on a bunny trail. What were we talking about before?"
