Recurring themes in Prince's music.

I mean, love and sex are easy, but the other themes?

Relationships? Violence? Masturbation (as in a single sexual act)? Cars?

What are his recurring themes? And let's find them in his body of work.

Lemme do;

WAR
Party Up
Ronnie, Talk 2 Russia
1999
Live 4 Love
Cinnamon Girl

Would "I got a brand new dance" count as a theme? That line gets used a lot by Prince.

More than one of his videos are suppose to be him "dreaming."

In several songs he's wanted to be "the best you ever had..."
