get lost
Leave me alone
Get lost is a dismissive command telling someone to go away: I told him to get lost.
The phrase also describes becoming disoriented or unable to find one's way: We got lost in the woods.
In figurative use, to get lost in something is to become completely absorbed: She got lost in the music.
