What shall we do now?

Description

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces?
Where waves of hunger roar
Shall we set out across the sea of faces?
In search of more and more applause
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the east
Contract diseases
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people as pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall


Guess the song. Heh heh heh. ;P [link]

Pink Floyd -- "What Shall We Do Now?" from their movie The Wall.

So, so, in the movie The Wall, the main character ends up losing his wife/girlfriend (I forget which it was) to someone else because he hardly ever got to see her, and one day he came back and didn't find anyone waiting for him...I think.

Reading these lyrics, it makes me think the "empty spaces" are where the most important person used to be...I think this is what would be going through someone's head if they lost someone so important to them. You can see how bad some people can get hit by things like this. This person's been completely ruined.

I wanted to draw this to match the song, but I don't think I really captured the meaning...I don't know...I'd like to hear what you all have to say about this...I like the little details better than the picture as a whole...

Oh, and, I sure hope this never happens to me or anyone close to me...
