Fates Warning is a band that plays some complex music (on sometimes dark themes).

[Maybe I'm getting mixed up with the band Pain of Salvation, or both these bands have some dark themes.]

This song from their 1994 album 'Inside Out' stands out due to the lyrics.

They seem to be (in part) questioning motives behind things we do.

(I saw it as an artist having the eyes to question what (monument) he/she creates. A monument that others will come by, years later, to see/appreciate.

Interesting how someone can see themselves in the situation they are in - as an observer of themselves.)

Of course, the amazing musicianship helps appreciate it as well.

Monument lyrics

There's a blind desire, there's a drive There's a need to leave some lasting feat Something to hold, something to keep A monument to complete

There's a written page, there's a book There's a search for something to say Something to share, something to speak A monument to convey

Is it fiction, is it confession Is it passion or just a profession Is it performance, is it expression Is it passion or just an obsession

There's a photograph, there's a frame There's a time, a moment to confine Something to save, something to see A monument to enshrine

Is it performance, is it expression Is it passion or just a profession Is it fiction, is it confession Is it passion or just an obsession

There's an empty room there's a blank page There's a picture left incomplete Something is lost, something remains A monument to defeat

Is it fiction, is it confession Is it passion or just a profession Is it performance, is it expression Is it passion or just an obsession

1988. No Exit 

is the fourth album by progressive metal band Fates Warning,  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.

 The album is arguably Fates Warning's most popular effort, although it only reached #183 on the Billboard 200 chart. It charted for thirteen weeks, which was longer than any of the band's other albums. GN later ranked it #14 on their Top 25 Metal Albums list.
