Stop the World – I Want to Get Off

"Stop the World – I Want to Get Off" is a phrase that expresses feeling overwhelmed by life's demands or chaos, suggesting a desire to pause everything temporarily to gain perspective or relief. It captures the universal urge to step back from busy, stressful situations, often reflecting a moment of emotional overload or the need for a break.
