it means that we have emotionless human relationships that are based less upon face to face interaction with all the new mediums we have for communication like texting or twittering or e-mailing; that relationships are now for the moment and not long term it's lust instead of love, and that a lot of people just want to hear themselves talk. So pretty much we're all empty on the inside but try to impress others and ourself and whatever..
