A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building of over 40 floors, mostly designed for office, commercial and residential uses. A skyscraper can also be called a high-rise, but the term skyscraper is often used for buildings higher than 150 m (492 ft). For buildings above a height of 300 m (984 ft), the term Supertall can be used, while skyscrapers reaching beyond 600 m (1,969 ft) are classified as Megatall.
One common feature of skyscrapers is having a steel framework that supports curtain walls. These curtain walls either bear on the framework below or are suspended from the framework above, rather than load-bearing walls of conventional construction. Some early skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables the construction of load-bearing walls taller than of those made of reinforced concrete. Modern skyscrapers' walls are not load-bearing and most skyscrapers are characterized by large surface areas of windows made possible by the concept of steel frame and curtain walls. However, skyscrapers can have curtain walls that mimic conventional walls and a small surface area of windows. Modern skyscrapers often have a tubular structure, and are designed to act like a hollow cylinder to resist lateral loads (wind, seismic, etc.). To appear more slender, allow less wind exposure and to transmit more daylight to the ground, many skyscrapers have a design with setbacks.

Mysteries Of Trump Tower Are Revealed: A Look Inside The Famous Skyscraper
Everyone i know
keeps waiting for the choke
we do damage we don't see
just by chasing down the things we need
sweet jealousy
this is a picture of me
this is the panic in my head
this is the dead weight in my chest
it takes a bitter man
to steal love with his calloused hands
and spin it into gold
with lies about what no one knows
he's dancing for ghosts
this is a picture of me
this is the panic in my head
this is the dead weight in my chest
and when she swears she needs me
i get the violence in my hands
skyscraper hearts make bitter men
the hours run from dawn
and the feeling's really gone
keep it up
sing along
oh well
the air's alive with the scent of blood
and i swear swear swear that i've had enough of
all the hours all the days
the waiting and the never cames
we can not love what never breaks
and hearts like ours will never change
this is a picture of me
this is the panic in my head
this is the dead weight in my chest
and when she swears she need me
i get the violence in my hands
skyscraper hearts make bitter men
keep it up
sing along
