This common theme may be represented by a physical object or act that is not necessarily relevant to the plot, but which serves as a visual metaphor for the challenges facing different characters in different situations, who are confronted by the same problems.
Violence has many faces

The Real Story About Midnight Cowboys
Oh Jesus Christ, what name do you go by now
For time is passing with the wind blows new decrees
Canned for life your used by date is faded
And followers of you now watch TV
What could I do
And tonight your dress is looking shaded
The colours don't seem to captivate
Count the loss I see your moving on now
Pressures off no more people to drag you down
What could I do
On my own I stand naked

Someday you will also feel
That the time is running fast
And it could be real,
You can’t go back from the past
I could really hear
The voice of yesterday
And the day is near
And I know I’ll be okay
Tomorrow I’ll be fine
Tomorrow I will fly
I am who I am
And I’ll always stay the same
If it’s meant to be
Then it will be
Cause it’s destiny
This could be it
You wish upon a star
Sing your favorite song
Show who you really are
And figure out you’ve never been wrong
You don’t need to be so perfect
You’ll forget about the noises
You know you can really work it
You may never break to pieces
You’ll see…
Tomorrow I’ll be fine
Tomorrow I will fly
I am who I am
And I’ll always stay the same
If it’s meant to be
Then it will be
Cause it’s destiny
This could be it
There is nothing wrong
When you always think so long
But try to make it sure
Cause something may occur
Ohh..
I need a little space
I’ll never forget those days
Don’t want to be so tired
I want to be inspired
Tomorrow I’ll be fine
Tomorrow I will fly
Tomorrow I’ll be fine
Tomorrow I will fly
I am who I am
And I’ll always stay the same
If it’s meant to be
Then it will be
Cause it’s destiny (destiny…)
This could be it
This could be it

[Kim]
Always cost a pair of hose - spaces pressed together rose
Arms around each others back - you know that I liked you Jack
And all the other boys who pose - a silent dance in the woods
In the suburb light is shown - another can of Coca Cola
Don't you ever call me Mom - freckled dancing in the plan
And air so thin it weighs a ton - you can see as far as fun
You're nothing but a history - a second here and then you're gone
Quicksand, quicksand all around - turn the corner just beyond
The shadows move and change the groove - and something tells me not to brood
Turning room and that's a show - you're walking through my heart once more
Don't forget to close the door - I'm not certain of what you found
All the men want a charming whore - like a crown fortunes
Sunny skies and angels bleed - falling down upon my knees
That wasn't how it's supposed to be - clear blue eyes, justice tries
The wind is busy blowing dizzy - you're dreams were shot like a star
Exploding in a mind somewhere - doing something on a dare
Pulling a trigger like breathing air - a sunkissed boy that gave no thought
To what he'd made while others sake
Ocean spreads a candle sand - it's dripping in my hand, you're dead
Little brother reminding me - the moments tick forever true
You can see as far as him - don't you know the shape I'm in
(Woahh yehh yehh)
(Woahh yeh yehh)
I can hear her heart
I can feel her pulse
I can read her mind
I'm connected to her soul
She doesn't accept the fact that she's so in love with me
Understand she plays her role
As if she is where she should be
[Chorus:]
She's created a glass ceiling so I can look her, but I can't be with her
To give her my love, my love, my love, my love
She's created a glass ceiling so I can look her, but I can't be with her
To give her my love (my love), my love (my love) my love (my love) my love (my love)
Glass Ceiling (ohhohohhhh woahh yehh)
Glass Ceiling (ohhohhohhh woahh yehh)
I can feel her touch, even when she's not here
I can hear her voice she's embedded in my ear, (she's Embedded in my ear)
But She doesn't accept the fact that she's so in love with me
Understand she plays her role
As if she is where she should be
(She Created)
[Chorus]
So it's like a glass ceiling cause
I know she wants me But I just can't be with her
And I know she don't love him but she just still won't quit him
Vision of a
Depiction of a glass ceiling (Of a glass ceiling)
I can see her, but the Just can't get to her
Tried to talking to her, but the Just don't get to her
Glass ceiling
Cause all I can do is see her but I can't be with her
[Intro:]
Yeah, this ya boy JC

Just thought I ask you, won't tell I swear

I just wanna kick it, I just wanna kick it
Ain't no body gotta know.
[Verse 2: JC]
Shawty I can the things that your man won't never do
Like coppin' you a range or ring maybe chevy blue
I can see the pain in your eyes, when I look at you
Cause you are not satisfied
And I can guarantee, I can change what you are goin' through
All I really need is your name and your number, Boo
And I can call you in the mornin'
Or cook you breakfast in the morning.
[Bridge:]
Now shorty what ya name is?

Maybe we can kick it, take my numba we'll arrange it!
So you got a boyfriend
How can that offend me?
When I look so player in this black on black Bentley
Got my own funds, wonder what the funds worth
Who is show? Show! Just gimme tickets to your concert
I can make your back, I can make you feel good
I keep it to my self, that's how g's do it (haha)
[Chorus:]
Do you got a boyfriend? Girl I really don't care
Just thought ask ya won't tell I swear
I just wanna kick it be a little secret
I just wanna kick it
Let us put man and woman together
See which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
Women got the men like a puppet show
Chorus:
It ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
They're smarter than the men in every way
That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter
A little boy sat down and cried
A old man passed and asked him why
He said "I can't do what the big boys do"
The old man sat down and he cried too
Feeling electric, feeling electric. Yea
Feeling electric, feeling electric
1 2 3...
[Verse 1:]
Her name was keysha
I could tell by the way she spelled her name
That she was different
Such a pleasure to meet her
She turned down every man in the room
But it was a full moon
And the bond we had was electric
Something like electricity
She did to me, she put it on me
[Chorus:]
Baby I'm shocked
It's as if I'm plugged in the wall
You came and made me fall
In love with you
And now baby I'm shocked
And when we ain't on the phone
I seem to have a jones
Cause I feel so all alone
And I'm shocked
And you can see the hair all over my head is sweating all over my hands.
Can't get her out of my bed?
I'm shocked
Cause you turned a player into a lover
God knows that I love yah
And I gotta admit, that I'm shocked
[Verse 2:]
Oh when she leaves me
I can still feel her presence in the room
I know that she can hear me
Ah, when I'm making a battle out loud
I'm wild bout love
I can't hide from her touch
Her electrical currant got me over hear buzzing
Redefining energy, just surging me
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
It's like a put some scissors in the outlet
And you will never ever have a better outage
It's like a put some scissors in the outlet, yah
And you will never ever have a better outage
[Chorus]
[Verse 4:]
So shocked yah I'm feeling electric feeling electric yea
(See at the time, I thought you were the best thing that ever happened to me. But over time, I realized that I was stupid for loving you)
(Listen)
How did it get to this, see I thought I headed into the perfect relationship.
Should've known you'd be influenced by them girls you was hanging with.
Cause they stay on that while I tip, still I thought that you wouldn't trip, flipped up the script on me.
Don't oh oh yeah, overheard your conversations on the phone (Yeah)
Last time I checked Tim wasn't a woman.
So I knew you was creeping, baby you're fronting. I feel so stupid.
Baby, been trying to getting this out of my heart forever.
Thought the remedy to a broken heart was you.
But I realized that it was just nothing, and I never should've loved you.
I was so stupid, stupid for trusting you.
So stupid, stupid for loving you.
Oh I'm so stupid, I'm so foolish. I'm stupid for loving you girl.
Should've known you weren't the one.
What's the reason you're doing this, everyday's an argument.
Cause it doesn't take nothing to make you snap (Oh yeah)
From not answering the phone to not coming home.
To the dude you was walking with in green by the mall.
I ain't seen everything, you can do what you wanna do, do.
I'm so stu-stu.
Baby, been trying to getting this out of my heart forever.
Thought the remedy to a broken heart was you.
But I realized that it was just nothing, and I never should've loved you.
I was so stupid, stupid for trusting you.
So stupid, stupid for loving you.
Oh I'm so stupid, I'm so foolish. I'm stupid for loving you girl.
Should've known you weren't the one.
The lying, the cheating, the heartache, the pain, the strain.
The worry, frustration, was all.
Baby, been trying to getting this out of my heart forever.
