What does "world behind you mean"?
I've heard the phrase "Watch out, the world behind you" in one American show, and can't properly understand it.
Please, help. In what context you can say that? what sense does it have?

Hello iobit,
I am guessing that it is a reference to a line from this song
by the Velvet Underground.
Sunday Morning
Sunday morning, praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
{Watch out, the world's behind you}
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning and I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
{Watch out, the world's behind you}
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
{Watch out, the world's behind you}
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Watch out, "something" is behind you.
This is usually a warning to be aware of a danger behind you that you are not able to see.
For instance,
Watch out, there is a bear behind you!
Watch out, the world is behind you.
This probably should be understood in a figurative or poetic sense. The problems of the world are always with you even if you can't see them (as if they were behind you.)
