PSYCHONAUT - Violate Consensus Reality All the Lyrics were kindly given to me by Stefan DeGraef (Psychonaut´s guitarist/vocalist) ENJOY! 1. A Storm Approaching Feast your eyes on the mire. Unearth your primitive rage. Use your ears. Guide your mind. Beware the noises. Gods know we're born to carry this weight. Thrown in the crossfire. One push from the edge. Brace yourselves. Bring out the wrath. Shatter your tethered sight. Vigilant tendencies. Resist them. Revolt. Rewild. Tempt the All-father. Be the first prophet. Seed the tyrant’s regicide. Enter the storm. Gods know we're born to carry this weight. Thrown in the crossfire. One push from the edge. Brace yourselves. Why wait? Rise. Fall. Shine. Renew.
2. All Your Gods Have Gone We are born into shackles. Shallow waters. What have we done to deserve this inhumane, barren chaos? Broken by your contradictions. Devoured to bone, we generate the cracks. Chase your roots with courage. Go beyond. Reject the norm. Follow your compassion through the storm. Rely on none but you. Reclaim yourself. We are shadows of our true human nature. Dig through your shell and remember. Buried in dust, we resurrect the sun. Chase your roots with courage. Go beyond. Reject the norm. Follow your compassion through the storm. We are.
3. Age of Separation We are the weary. Deserted on the hangman’s gallows with weighed bones. Born to dwell in echoes. Sons of nothing in hollow shells. Stare into the all with one eye shut. No rest, no more. To be the thorn attached to the crown. An island on oceans grown. Designed to bear unpredictable wrath. Overrule. We’re all distant. Disconnected, still. Indecisively, we all serve the same side. Torn. Scattered. Gone as the crown slowly fades into the dirt. We’re out of our mind. Disengage. Determine your future.
4. Violate Consensus Reality Try to open your mind. Open your centre. Open your conscience. Break the consensus. Try to open your mind. Enlightened sun pulls me into hallowed sky. Closer. Overjoyed, reappeared. Guide my way home. Crawl out from your ungodly shackles. Pray until you see all your gods have gone. Away from your eyes. Ran to the ground. It's all up to you now. Arise. Thrive. I grow. Trust your instinct. Your courage. We’re all here with purpose. The disappearing of order will shape your eternal world. In tempered skies, hold your ground. In dark red times, rely. Feel. Be aware of forked tongues. By your side. Revere your vision. Persevere. Try to open your mind. Open your centre. Open your mind’s eye. Open your conscience. Break the consensus. Desire.
5. Hope I decipher sun in waves. Inner one, we're overgrown with light. Sown over mountains. Seed will grow. Spread your wings. We are the hope. Star sown. A new horizon underway. Celebrate your time to open the dusk. After all, we tried to open our eyes. So wide. Always heart in mind. River, come. Oh, may your light shine on oceans of the sun. Sing your gospel. May you howl at the sky in all your glory. Sing to the many.
6. Interbeing
Out of the unparalleled divine, I nail one foot back to the ground. To be the author of a world reborn. I have seen the essence of the core. Still lingering in crashing waves. Into a dream unknown. Beyond the norm. Maker, where do I start? Speak in truth. Bold and humbled. Never long for outward skies. Hold your pride, ancient sun child of the gods. Shine with all your might. You, older than the soil. More than form and desire. Child, bearer of the gift in the light of a quiet sun. I pray to outgrow my skin. All returns once more into the source. I long.
7. A Pacifist’s Guide to Violence Rise up. Come forth now. Sound off. Here we are. We're all dazed with urgent haste. Wake up. Rebel. Defy. Go now. Devise your own uprising. Rattle chains. Disobey all. Bear your arms. We're all dazed with urgent haste.
8. Towards the Edge Beneath your eye, below the uncanny appearance. There lies the arc in the orchard. Under the river of silence. Never voicing, withdrawn to shelter. You, the island (chained) drawn from the ocean (forlorn). Use your time as you wish. May you reach the calm. We're all designed with the prowess to be here in service to the garden. I trust you to outshine your nature. Human. Lord of one. Bringer of the calm. Rewild your creation from the ground up. Be at peace with all its flaws. Ravish the consensus from the inside. Be tenacious to the edge. Be larger than yourself. Your intention guides your journey. Rise on the mountains. Splinter the masses. Speak with passion. We’re granted solace in all we will choose. Feel your sacred creation.
After 3 consecutive listens, it´s safe to say my favourite track is: 01. A Storm Approaching - 00:00:00 02. All Your Gods Have Gone - 00:05:48 03. Age of Separation - 00:10:02 04. Violate Consensus Reality - 00:15:43 05. Hope - 00:24:34 06. Interbeing - 00:29:38 07. A Pacifist's Guide to Violence - 00:36:29 08. Towards the Edge - 00:39:58 :) Best album i´ve listened, in a long time, from start to finish, without feeling slightly bored or mehhhh, like happens with so many others... What a passionate band with an amazing musicianship and highly positive and thought-provoking lyrics, with an intensity and feel that is felt from our side (The listeners) PSYCHONAUT FOR LIFE!
This is hands down my favorite metal album of 2022. In a world where metal bands are either trying to push the extreme with unlistenable noise, or desperately writing pop hooks to entertain festival crowds, bands like Psychonaut stand out with their authentic songwriting
I know this reply is just spam but it's really fucken funny if you read it like a reply to the op being a little bit too high strung lmao I love this shit too but ya really should get over the whole 'measuring music taste by how much you can put down other genres' thing.
Saw their Show Yesterday in Groningen. Really nice Event and nice Guys. They thrilled me even more than the Main act Brutus. Great Album also. Cheers Guys 🤘
Another banger! Towards the Edge is my favorite after my first listen. Age of Separation has some awesome bass riffage. A Pacifist's Guide to Violence fuckin slams. So happy for new Psychonaut!
I hadn´t been this thrilled, since i first heard, for example, the first albums of, let´s say, Mastodon, Gojira, Deftones, Tool, Opeth, etc... You know what i mean :) Album of the year, for sure!!!! So glad to have experienced this band live in a small venue in Lisboa, a few mounths ago, and got hang out a bit with them... Such cool, talented and overall, POSITIVE guys! Much love from Portugal, dudes! Congratulations! Abraço do vosso amigo André ;)
Thomas and Stefan's vocal harmonies are on point, and all the instrumentals sound amazing! Still mindblown with this MASTERPIECE... Psychonaut, you violated the consensus reality :)
I'm really impressed! Not since Villagers of Ioannia City's Age of Aquarius has an album blown me away right from the first listening session. You certainly have a new fan!
The long awaited moment that I have been waiting for the debut of this album. When I saw the release today I quickly ran out to the shop eager to hear the first note I haven't felt that way since I was a teenager buying the newest Rock album and just like I knew you guys did not disappoint I love it I'm a 55-year-old singer-songwriter musician performer and I'm a huge fan I love you guys and you have just created a new category it's not just five star you guys are seven star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ca transmet c'est énorme grosse claque émotionnelle !! bravo et félicitations pour ce magnifique opus, de nouvelles portes ouvertes d'un point de vue purement musical qui font selon moi la beauté de cet ouvrage. Quelques formats plus courts pas piqués des hannetons comme on dit chez moi, qui viennent casser la progression de manière posée ou explosive (all your gods, hope, a pacifist's...) en résumé une pure énergie. Bien à vous les psychonaut.
I try not to compare bands, just let the music speak for itself, but this is much more my style compared to Intronaut. Well done, new favorite prog album to put on repeat ;)
I love Unfold the God Man and Hippotraktor's Meridian beyond words. Your music and vocals and lyrical messages touch my core. When I saw that this new record dropped I had to go in right away. Unfortunately I feel like the oomph and bass that was always present in previous records went completely flat on this one. The songs all seem like they would be perfect adds to your musical catalogue but they just don't fit in mixing wise. I tried different sources and different equipment and whenever I put on any song from Unfold the God Man there is just no going back. The mixing was on point for me and is such a big distractor on this record. Of course this is only my experience and my ears and I mean this in no way disrespectful. I will of course keep following your art!

PSYCHONAUT - Violate Consensus Reality
All the Lyrics were kindly given to me by Stefan DeGraef (Psychonaut´s guitarist/vocalist)
ENJOY!
1. A Storm Approaching
Feast your eyes on the mire.
Unearth your primitive rage.
Use your ears. Guide your mind.
Beware the noises.
Gods know we're born to carry this weight.
Thrown in the crossfire. One push from the edge.
Brace yourselves.
Bring out the wrath.
Shatter your tethered sight.
Vigilant tendencies.
Resist them. Revolt. Rewild.
Tempt the All-father.
Be the first prophet.
Seed the tyrant’s regicide.
Enter the storm.
Gods know we're born to carry this weight.
Thrown in the crossfire. One push from the edge.
Brace yourselves.
Why wait?
Rise. Fall. Shine.
Renew.
2. All Your Gods Have Gone
We are born into shackles.
Shallow waters.
What have we done to deserve this
inhumane, barren chaos?
Broken by your contradictions.
Devoured to bone, we generate the cracks.
Chase your roots with courage.
Go beyond.
Reject the norm.
Follow your compassion through the storm.
Rely on none but you.
Reclaim yourself.
We are shadows of our true human nature.
Dig through your shell and remember.
Buried in dust, we resurrect the sun.
Chase your roots with courage.
Go beyond.
Reject the norm.
Follow your compassion through the storm.
We are.
3. Age of Separation
We are the weary.
Deserted on the hangman’s gallows
with weighed bones.
Born to dwell in echoes.
Sons of nothing in hollow shells.
Stare into the all
with one eye shut.
No rest, no more.
To be the thorn attached to the crown.
An island on oceans grown.
Designed to bear unpredictable wrath.
Overrule.
We’re all distant.
Disconnected, still.
Indecisively, we all serve the same side.
Torn. Scattered. Gone as the crown slowly fades into the dirt.
We’re out of our mind.
Disengage. Determine your future.
4. Violate Consensus Reality
Try to open your mind.
Open your centre.
Open your conscience.
Break the consensus.
Try to open your mind.
Enlightened sun pulls me into hallowed sky. Closer.
Overjoyed, reappeared.
Guide my way home.
Crawl out from your ungodly shackles.
Pray until you see all your gods have gone.
Away from your eyes.
Ran to the ground.
It's all up to you now.
Arise. Thrive.
I grow.
Trust your instinct. Your courage.
We’re all here with purpose.
The disappearing of order will shape your eternal world.
In tempered skies, hold your ground.
In dark red times, rely. Feel.
Be aware of forked tongues.
By your side.
Revere your vision. Persevere.
Try to open your mind.
Open your centre.
Open your mind’s eye.
Open your conscience.
Break the consensus. Desire.
5. Hope
I decipher sun in waves.
Inner one, we're overgrown with light.
Sown over mountains.
Seed will grow.
Spread your wings. We are the hope. Star sown.
A new horizon underway.
Celebrate your time to open the dusk.
After all, we tried to open our eyes.
So wide. Always heart in mind. River, come.
Oh, may your light shine
on oceans of the sun.
Sing your gospel.
May you howl at the sky
in all your glory.
Sing to the many.
6. Interbeing
Out of the unparalleled divine,
I nail one foot back to the ground.
To be the author of a world reborn.
I have seen the essence of the core.
Still lingering in crashing waves.
Into a dream unknown. Beyond the norm.
Maker, where do I start?
Speak in truth. Bold and humbled.
Never long for outward skies.
Hold your pride, ancient sun child of the gods.
Shine with all your might.
You, older than the soil.
More than form and desire.
Child, bearer of the gift
in the light of a quiet sun.
I pray to outgrow my skin.
All returns once more into the source.
I long.
7. A Pacifist’s Guide to Violence
Rise up. Come forth now.
Sound off.
Here we are.
We're all dazed with urgent haste.
Wake up. Rebel.
Defy.
Go now.
Devise your own uprising.
Rattle chains. Disobey all.
Bear your arms.
We're all dazed with urgent haste.
8. Towards the Edge
Beneath your eye, below the uncanny appearance.
There lies the arc in the orchard. Under the river of silence.
Never voicing, withdrawn to shelter.
You, the island (chained) drawn from the ocean (forlorn).
Use your time as you wish.
May you reach the calm.
We're all designed with the prowess
to be here in service to the garden.
I trust you to outshine your nature.
Human. Lord of one. Bringer of the calm.
Rewild your creation from the ground up.
Be at peace with all its flaws.
Ravish the consensus from the inside.
Be tenacious to the edge.
Be larger than yourself.
Your intention guides your journey.
Rise on the mountains.
Splinter the masses.
Speak with passion.
We’re granted solace in all we will choose.
Feel your sacred creation.
Thank you so freaking much
Please could some gentleman write the lyrics at 49:37? I can't find the lyrics anywhere
Love this album. Stand with the Belgium farmers and the farmers around the globe! We will let those in power eat cake!
Nice my grandfather met my grandmother in ww2 in Belgium and came back to us to farm!

PSYCHONAUT FOR LIFE!
This is hands down my favorite metal album of 2022. In a world where metal bands are either trying to push the extreme with unlistenable noise, or desperately writing pop hooks to entertain festival crowds, bands like Psychonaut stand out with their authentic songwriting
I know this reply is just spam but it's really fucken funny if you read it like a reply to the op being a little bit too high strung lmao
I love this shit too but ya really should get over the whole 'measuring music taste by how much you can put down other genres' thing.
Most hyped album of 2022!!
Looks like we have the album of the year !!!
It's the dual clean/scream-growl vocals that literally makes this for me. I mean, I love everything else--instruments, lyrics, etc. But those vocals.
"Towards the edge": Instant Mind-blown!
Fuck, didn´t expect it to catch me. Great one. ^^
Age of Separation best track. But album is 10/10 no doubt
The drummer has super-human skills!
Yeah, he deserves more credit ! This is international level of drumming
How to say it in czech language! "Klobouček pánové"!!! Best progressive album i´ve heard in 2022
The sounscaping that whirls around mood and emotion throughout this entire album is immediately underrated. Very refreshing.
Saw their Show Yesterday in Groningen. Really nice Event and nice Guys. They thrilled me even more than the Main act Brutus.
Great Album also. Cheers Guys 🤘
What an awesome band. Holy damn
Another banger! Towards the Edge is my favorite after my first listen. Age of Separation has some awesome bass riffage. A Pacifist's Guide to Violence fuckin slams. So happy for new Psychonaut!
Masterpiece is an understatement. Album of the year for sure

They played in my hometown last year and I missed them :( but i was able to see DVNE instead, wich was also really cool
Sooooo ****ing excited to press play!
Ears Blown. Mind Blown. Soul Blown.
Another masterpiece right after the previous one.
Thomas and Stefan's vocal harmonies are on point, and all the instrumentals sound amazing! Still mindblown with this MASTERPIECE...
Psychonaut, you violated the consensus reality :)
Saw them live in Paris a few days ago...
Damn what a great show !!!
Love them even more now !!!
I'm really impressed! Not since Villagers of Ioannia City's Age of Aquarius has an album blown me away right from the first listening session. You certainly have a new fan!
2 very different albums and genre, but 2 masterpieces for sure. I also suggest you the band DVNE
One of my top albums of 2022. Thanks dudes!
Hyped! 🤘
The long awaited moment that I have been waiting for the debut of this album. When I saw the release today I quickly ran out to the shop eager to hear the first note I haven't felt that way since I was a teenager buying the newest Rock album and just like I knew you guys did not disappoint I love it I'm a 55-year-old singer-songwriter musician performer and I'm a huge fan I love you guys and you have just created a new category it's not just five star you guys are seven star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Glad to be here for the premiere
Album of the year. It's awesome.
Human music. I like It. - Jerry Smith
Another great album, Psychonaut are incredible. Would love to see a US tour soon!
That last song is what I love in Metal music
This fucking album is devastating, man. Incredible work.
Holy damn gentlemen!!! When in the fuhhh are we getting a US run? Cali here, don’t forget us :)
Outstanding album again, great job and thank you. Masterpiece
Harm, Thomas and Stefan KILLED IT🔥🤘🙌🤍
Great album!!!, such a unique blend of virtuosity and musical landscapes
Ca transmet c'est énorme grosse claque émotionnelle !! bravo et félicitations pour ce magnifique opus, de nouvelles portes ouvertes d'un point de vue purement musical qui font selon moi la beauté de cet ouvrage. Quelques formats plus courts pas piqués des hannetons comme on dit chez moi, qui viennent casser la progression de manière posée ou explosive (all your gods, hope, a pacifist's...) en résumé une pure énergie. Bien à vous les psychonaut.
j ai pu les voir avant THE OCEAN que je recommande aussi.un trio tres pro
I try not to compare bands, just let the music speak for itself, but this is much more my style compared to Intronaut. Well done, new favorite prog album to put on repeat ;)
So happy to have stranded here. That's awesome music!
A pacifist´s guide to violence 🤘🙌
Just got to know this band, so far it has been amazing, both this album and Unfold the God Man
Great album. This is what I've been missing since Mastodon went mainstream and got boring.
An outstanding album guys! Loved every second of it.
Violate Concensus Reality gave me HUGE Etched in Red vibes!!!!!! I instantly hear similar melodies from Why for an I...
My goodness is this good. I'm glad I just stumbled about you, this really enrichens my playlist.
Never heard of them before. UA-cam recommended it to me and I'm grateful for it. My personal description is Groove Metal with Alice in Chains vocals.
I understand it's about personal perception but Alice in Chains vocals are fucking annoying.
20 seconds in and I already know this will be a banger.
Ontdekt dankzij het artikel in de Metro :)
I love Unfold the God Man and Hippotraktor's Meridian beyond words. Your music and vocals and lyrical messages touch my core. When I saw that this new record dropped I had to go in right away.

Superbe, magnifique, grandiose....psychonaut 🤘🤘
Phenomenal
Love the record! Can't wait to see the releaseshow next week!
the part from 49:37 to 50:14 is really elevating ❤ Can someone who understands sung English transcribe that verse please? 😢
Capolavoro
Can't think of better music to make my Thanksgiving meal too!!!
23:04 Is this the Amenra's vocalist ?!!!

Very very very good !
Ver y nice...saludos de Mexico
allez les voir en concert
If this did not make you headbang, you got no head.
I dunno anything about this video, channel, etc., but I like the phrase, "violate consensus reality". I believe humans can do better than 'this'.
phew that was intense !
Damn. I missed the beginning. Cant wait for tomorrow.
you can just restart it now
@ true yeah. Just wanted to be in the live chat too.
Catharsis !
🔥🔥🔥
🤘🙌🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕
iS tHiS CHaOs MaGiCk??!??
Been a fan of Psychonaut from the earlier album, but this one did not hit it w/ me at all. Thumbs down.
LOL
i bet people who heard mastodon back in 2004 felt the same way i feel right now
