lost to the world
Utterly mentally absent
Lost to the world describes someone so absorbed in sleep, thought, or activity that they're oblivious to their surroundings.
A person lost to the world might be deeply asleep, engrossed in a book, or entranced by music: She was lost to the world, headphones on, staring out the train window.
The phrase suggests temporary disconnection from ordinary awareness.
