Angels and aliens We can handle that concept. Way too far out there. Roboto" persona, and that anyone looking from the outside would easily notice that.

AkaiEdge on January 21, Roboto was recorded by Styx in Westworld was a movie about a futuristic, adult-themed amusement park, populated by extremely lifelike robots, where you could live out your fantasies, by role playing amongst these robots. Although very lifelike, the robots weren't entirely perfect.
The robots are programmed not to hurt any of the vacationers, but by the end of the movie, all the robots are malfunctioning and killing everyone. The tagline from the movie was "Westworld The word "modern" in Mr. Roboto is deliberately misspelled "modren" as a tip of the hat to the movie Westworld. It also hints that our alter-egos, although employed to shield the inner-self, are still fallible and subject to malfunction. Schlermie on May 05, He spoke about the evils of rock 'n' roll music, and how its permissive attitudes were responsible for the moral and economic decline of America.

The intro begins in A-flat Mixolydian mode , ending in an F dominant to B-flat.

Out of the "Domo" part, the song bursts into G-flat Lydian. It changes to E-flat minor Aeolian mode at "I am the Modren Man [sic]", and this is the dominant key for the remainder of the song.
Some portions of the song transition to E-flat major similar to a Picardy third as a transition point to the "secret, secret" part as a pivot chord see modulation and to A-flat Mixolydian, a modal change from the G-flat Lydian that the same part took in the beginning of the song.
