lost souls
The spiritually adrift
Lost souls are people considered spiritually damned, morally adrift, or beyond redemption.
The phrase often carries religious overtones—souls condemned to wander or suffer eternally.
More loosely, it describes those who seem aimless, confused, or disconnected from purpose: The shelter serves the city's lost souls.
The term can be pitying or dismissive depending on context.
