Algorithm

Algorithm

Muse

“Algorithm” serves as the intro to the album, when the protagonist realizes he is in a simulation, and he reaches consciousness. He then tries to oppose his creator and escape from this false universe.

The song tells the story of an individual being deceived but attempts to tell a deeper truth about our predicament. It is a good opener as it asserts the key thread running through this album well.

The storyline is similar to the HBO TV Series Westworld.
