VIOLATE CONSENUS REALITY LYRICS: 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 fork 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.

Amazing lyrics ❤️🙌

Always gives me goosebumps 🫠

Fuckin Brootal, in no other vocal style would it be that powerful, and bludgeoning.

[@Zach_Beebe]

This is not only my favorite album of 2022, it's probably a top 10 ever. It's that good.

[@didiergoossens6842]

WTF, how did I sleep on seeing this?! Can the hype for this album get even bigger? Fun fact: the actor in the video is one of the band's roadies and one of their oldest friends and fans!

A. Who is it? B. Proof?

@@geraldmerkowitz4360 it’s been amazing…2 of the most intense gigs of my life

[@Chuy19902]

there is no doubt that Colin gave the perfect touch to this song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌

[@Coalicious]

3:17 has to be one of the most beautiful vocal passages I have heard in any song ever

[@kaysmith4016]

Yes

[@Slayer-Knight]

the arpeggios at 6:30 are so insane, i really want to see somebody play it just to understand how the hell is it possible

[@DennisRadaelli]

Psychonaut never disappoint. Interbeing was a big teaser of the band's next chapter in terms of sound and composition, and this new single is simply beyond every expectations. I'm seriously have a big hype for the full record

[@matsverschueren7976]

This is the best song coming out in 2022 !! The Belgian scene is so alive! thanks!!!!

[@ZacharyBorrelli]

This track is already an absolute belter but then 7:20 comes around and then it proceeds to ascend to a level unknown ❤

[@MagicEcho]

Life is so much better when you add some Psychonaut

[@Vonnegutized]

One of the best songs of this year. Great composition and really well-played. Awesome vocals (all of them)

[@manueltavares5967]

Love the collaboration with Stefanie from Brutus ❤❤

[@chrisreynolds7394]

This album is going to be a masterpiece

[@andritti]

It is indeed :)

[@andritti]

I am so proud of you guys!!! You always deliver raw, refined, heartfelt emotion and INTENSITY... PSYCHONAUT for life!!!!!! A big hug from your buddy André, from Portugal ;)

[@joegallagher8234]

Wow! This is goosebumps enducing, from the beauty to the groove to the sheer weight of Colin. This is outstanding!

[@danielfulop]

omg CHVE's voice!!!

[@Beyman1]

UTGM was already a huge discovery.... but this...!? A huge bomb into my emotions. Mindblowing!

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Immense collaboration, great powerful song 🤘

[@ZakkiLowe]

Just as I suspected. Unbelievable. I love this band.

[@PauloGomesdesign]

Damn.. what a huge surprise! Feat Colin. Hope i can see you guys again soon. Cheers from Portugal!

[@chvaneeckhout7016]

theres a mistake in the lyrics... Be aware of forked tongues by your side Revere your vision. Persevere ;)

[@hoegie01]

@C H van Eeckhout Quietly hoping that you will be in the AB too on the 4th of November...

[@carvedintothesun]

These guys deserve to be so huge.

[@andritti]

They already are......

[@carvedintothesun]

@@andritti I mean... kinda. Hopefully it's obvious that I'm not trying to say anything negative. Some people might compare Psychonaut to Tool, and Psychonaut has less than 1% of Tool's monthly Spotify listeners. I think they deserve a shitload more than that

[@andritti]

@@carvedintothesun I just meant that they already are, but not everyone is still aware of them. I know what you meant and i agree with you ☺️🙌🤘

[@bvonkemp]

Redefining goosebumps. Holy SH*T.

[@frankuvlkan]

Hi Kemp how are you doing. It’s nice coming across your amazing comment. Where are you from?

[@jhowever9126]

Just found this today. Great music, I'll have to check out more of your music.

[@mitchellvann5347]

When people ask me! What am I listening to!! I tell them psychonaut! They have fire 🔥 magic throughout all their music! Masterpiece’s! I fucking love Psychonauts! Such talented musicians!

[@bryanmartin8336]

Pretty sure I figured out the formula to a great band. 1. Be European. 2. Have a collective of musicians. 3. Scream a lot, but also have a wonderful singing voice.

[@andritti]

Ahahah, cool analysis... Not far from the truth. Just add great friendship, hardwork, passion and sacrifices and there you go ;)

[@devonpenner7177]

Lately it seems like the main thing is to be from Belgiumh lol goddamn there's a lot of fucking terrific heavy bands coming out of there right now.

[@stijnv_BE]

Brutus, Doodseskader, Briqueville, Hippotraktor, Wiegedood, Amenra, Stake and many others. We indeed have a lot of talented bands made in Belgium 👍

[@stijnv_BE]

Tomorrow Psychonaut and Pothamus live at Poppalure (Nazareth). I'm gonna check them out!

[@simpaticonebellissimo6407]

These guys are the best band i discovered in recent years, i saw them live in Milan in June and wanted to buy Unfold The God Of Man but sadly it was sold out. I hope to get a reprint of it one time or another, but for sure i won't miss also this record.

[@sebastiaanwillem9196]

Check out Stefan's other band, Hippotraktor. You won't be dissapointed.

[@simpaticonebellissimo6407]

@@sebastiaanwillem9196 i actually already know them but i never realized that they shared a member! By the way you were right, I absolutely love them. Thanks for the suggestion kind human!

[@lovenkranz]

So glad of these new releases that keep the originality alive. Congrats to the artists

[@Koffling]

God damn this is good. How fucking riveting is the progression in this song? I honestly think the climax of this song (I am not smart enough to put it in technical terms) is some of the coolest composition-wise I have ever heard. So god damn rewarding!

[@clarkcampbell1110]

I know exactly where the lads are coming from, the first 60-90 seconds were “top top”, then it turns to mush. Lads - look back at early rock n roll; it’s fine to just do yer thing, then quit after a minute.
