English term

that empty drum

English to French Other Poetry & Literature
Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without
Rattles in my head that empty drum filled with doubt
Everything you lose will always come find its way out
Every night is lonesome and is longer than before
Nothing really matters anymore

Too literal? 'tambour vide' springs to mind but maybe it's too much like the English?
