No Exit
No Exit (French: Huis Clos, pronounced: [ɥi klo]) is a 1944 existentialist French play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The original title is the French equivalent of the legal term in camera, referring to a private discussion behind closed doors; English translations have also been performed under the titles In Camera, No Way Out, Vicious Circle, Behind Closed Doors, and Dead End. The play was first performed at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in May 1944.
The play is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity. It is the source of Sartre's especially famous and often misinterpreted quotation "L'enfer, c'est les autres" or "Hell is other people", a reference to Sartre's ideas about the look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object in the world of another consciousness.
Plot synopsis
No Exit (Fates Warning album)
No Exit is the fourth studio album by progressive metal band Fates Warning, released in 1988 through Metal Blade Records. It is the first Fates Warning album to feature current vocalist Ray Alder, who replaced John Arch after the release of Awaken the Guardian (1986), as well as the last to feature drummer Steve Zimmerman, who left the band just prior to the recording of their subsequent album Perfect Symmetry (1989). The title was inspired by No Exit, a 1944 play written by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre.
Music and style
Musically, No Exit is considerably different from the band's previous efforts, incorporating strong elements of thrash metal, although maintaining the complex structures and powerful vocal performances found in the earlier albums. Although the lyrics are less influenced by fantasy themes which were predominant in the earlier albums, the philosophical element is still present.
Reissues
No Exit has had two major reissues. The first was in 1992 as part of a double album with Awaken the Guardian. The second was a remastered edition containing three bonus tracks and a DVD of live material, released on September 4, 2007 to coincide with Metal Blade's 25th anniversary.

No Exit
by: BlondieThere's no sin in this
Getting dressed to kill
Laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze yeah and his lips apart
He's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart
And drink it up till the morning starts
Circulate the red light mistress
Get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch em' up and give em' blisters
Kiss em' fierce with all his might forever
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge
Waiting for me to fall but
Then I got a call
It said: "Wait hold up homie
You must be trippin'
You can't be putting that sippin' and whippin' up in your pippin
You better stand tall
Fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front
Put your hand on the pump
And it's right in your grasp man
I know they're laughing but you'll be laughing later
Cuz' time's are gonna get greater
You's' a player and when I say player
I mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player"
Who's gonna cry for ya'?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya'?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Put yourself in your position
You ain't wantin' no fight no food
Ain't no want and no light
So you must be doing all right
But wait a minute
Something's wrong
It's lunatic it's mad insane
Busted like a water main
Indulgence in another vein
What they're saying round the neighbourhood
Is what he's drinking's not aged in wood
He's filling out
He's all blowed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
He's filling out
He's all blowed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
And sure enough at the midnight lounge
There's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Living dead is doing time
Like drowning on the circle line
Who's gonna cry for ya'?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya'?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Cry over you?
Tell me would they lie for you?
Die for you?
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you fool
But who's gonna cry?
