Psychonaut 4 started with a demo tape titled "40%", released by Depressive Illusions Records in 2011. In June 2012 the band released "Tired, Numb, Still Alive", a 3-way split album with Unjoy and Eurythmie, released by Der Neue Weg Productions. Their first full-length, "Have a Nice Trip" was released in August 2012 on cassette by Depressive Illusions Records (CD version co-released by Der Neue Weg Productions and Solitude and Despair Music in November 2012).
In December 2012 the band decided to split up. In the Spring of 2013 André rejoined the band. In January 2014 a split with Happy Days and Dodsferd was released, and later this year the second full-length "Dipsomania" will see the light of day.

Beware The Silence
Psychonaut 4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always tried to be
Filled with beauty.
I didn't know that
Beauty wasn't made for me,
Dirt and mud only will full me.
My self-love was
As my own EGO wank
My little pills are wrong...
It will kill me, I know.
When there is a silence around,
I fall asleep
So, beware the silence around you.
Her naked body is no longer excites me
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with the world around me?
My medication don't cure me
My little pills are wrong.
My lips turned blue, because I bitten them.
I always knew that alcohol and pills is very bad combination
But I don't know how else to escape from the reality
The lyrics of Psychonaut 4's "Beware The Silence" describe a feeling of emptiness and a search for something to fill it. The singer mentions a desire for beauty but realizes that it's not meant for them, only dirt and mud can fill the emptiness inside. These lines suggest that the singer's pursuit of external beauty is futile and that true fulfillment lies within themselves. However, their excessive self-love, which is compared to an ego wank, does not provide the desired results. The mention of little pills that will kill the singer suggests that they have turned to self-destructive behavior in an attempt to find meaning in their life.
The chorus of the song, "When there is a silence around, I fall asleep, so beware the silence around you," suggests that the singer is afraid of being alone with their thoughts and emotions. They would rather numb their pain with pills and alcohol than confront their inner demons. The mention of a naked body no longer exciting the singer and their lips turning blue from biting them suggest that they may be struggling with depression and possibly suicidal thoughts.
