For the tracking sense, with its own metaphor: cover one's tracks = σβήνω τα ίχνη μου, καλύπτω τα ίχνη μου.
From the other side: get my life back on track = ξαναβάζω τη ζωή μου σε μια τάξη / σε μια σειρά, ξαναφτιάχνω τη ζωή μου.
On the other hand, the left, traditionally: off the beaten track = απόμερος, καθόλου πολυσύχναστος.
And close enough, the right/wrong side of the tracks.

lose sleep over = χάνω τον ύπνο μου, ανησυχώ.
Don't lose sleep over the website.
No one is losing any sleep over what he thinks of us
True, from time to time, feelings will be hurt in these discussions, but why lose sleep worrying about the self-esteem problems of politicians?
It is not something I lose sleep worrying about.
It's a brave move and I must admit I have lost sleep over it.

see the lions (απηρχ.)= to see the lions was to go and see the sights of London. Originally, the phrase referred to the menagerie in the Tower of London and later in Regent's Park (έκφραση που συνάντησα στο The Dubliners του Joyce, η αγγλική επεξήγηση προέρχεται από τις σημειώσεις του βιβλίου)= επισκέπτομαι τα "μαστ" του Λονδίνου, τα αξιοθέατα (μιας πόλης, κλπ.)
As early as 1590, the English used the idiom to “see the lions.”[2] This referred to the Tower of London which is thought to have been one of the world’s oldest zoos. The monarchs kept a menagerie of animals inside the tower including several types of cats. Travelers and visitors were hopeful for a glimpse of the animals, especially the lion which was the living emblem of the king.[3] In comparison to the American elephant seen by Easterners or city people in the country, the English lion was seen by country peasants in the city.

https://books.google.de/books?id=UJ...nepage&q="see the lions" idiom london&f=false
Nowadays this British expression means "to have a lot of experience, to have seen everything". It originated in the 16th century when people who came to London from other towns were taken to see the lions that were kept in the Tower of London, as a tourist attraction. Therefore, they would say "I have seen the lions" to mean they had seen the most important thing there was to see.
