The problem is that people try to look for deeper meanings within the album "The Wall"
You need to pretty much take these songs without reading too much into them.\
On that note..
"Hey You" starts the second CD of "The Wall", directly after Pink realizes that his wall of isolation he has built around himself is complete. "Hey You" is Pink trying to call out to the outside world but realizing that his communication has been cut.
You need to understand the concept of "The Wall" to understand the songs on the album.
Hi, I am not a fan of pink floyd, not because they are not good but because I never had the chance to want to discover them, for sure I've heard alot talking about them, but I only know 3 songs, and thats because its 3 songs that I love. (hey you, another brick in the wass...of course, and my favorite song of all times, and beleive me my list of favorite song is very long, its 'wish you were here' anyway, and they were all songs that I did know who sang them) And when I was hearing stuff...

Anyway my goal of writing to you is I like the way you describe what hey you meant you sound like someone that knows his pink floyd and your description is so clear (I always found that it sounded complecated listening to pink floyd, probably main reason I didnt when i think about it, that you need to see the movie to understand and if you want to listen to wish you were here album well to fully understand it you need to listen to the wall, or to listen to the wall well theres more then one, anyway it was weard for me at that time...) And since yesterday I checking forums and facks about them, I spent 4 hours on reading what people were saying about the meaning of wish you were here, anyway a thing brouht me to another... and so today I went to check the meaning of hey you and I read you, and wanted to know, as a fan, and probably understanding my kind of music based on the 3 I like, would you suggest me to rent the movie, or listen to a album... What should I do first that would open my curiousety and interest for them, where should I stard.. or not really worthed ill probably get board and by not paying full attention ill miss the magic of it..... anyway, so sorry to write you a big message like that, but i would like to want to be more interested in pink floyd (...and some songs Ive heard were so boring like only 3 phrase in it... but i still dont judge cause probably I need to understand the concept) tks ... and sorry....
Hey I just signed up to hopefully answer your question if you still have it.
A couple interesting things to understand about Pink Floyd is their influences. Yes, i believe the Wall is about a person isolating themselves from the world because bad things happened to them. Like Another brick in the wall part 1, is referencing Roger Waters ( one of the lead singers) Father's being killed in the war. IF you watch the movie, which is very good, there's things that reflect Syd Barrett, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, who went insane in their early stages...

Wish you were here, the album is a lot about Syd and other things. Especially if you read they lyrics to Shine on you crazy diamond. It describes Syd. There's references to Syd also in the movie, such as him shaving off his eyebrows (which he did) and watching tv, while a cigarette burned to his knuckles unsmoked by him.
It looked like the guy above hadn't responded and I felt I had to, because in all honesty, Pink Floyd is almost a part of me. Ciao. Hopefully that helps. I'm sure there's a lot of great bands that incorporate personal feelings and situations into their music, but Pink Floyd was genius as to incorporate their lives into the music by the feeling, lyrics, and song, but also being able to make each listener realize what bricks are in his or her own personal walls, etc.
@soma no its when he realizes that the wall is gone (it exploded in the movie) and his communication is cut because all the people have forgotten him and/or ignoring him.
