Alongside Ghostie, KiddBeatz, and the late Loboloki, Sybyr is a co-founder of the Anti-World collective—formerly WeirdCLVN and Weird Melodicians—a music collective founded upon social outsiders “expressing abnormality through music,” as Chase explained inside a September 2014 interview with GOLD BUSHIDO. In a September 2018 interview with All Def Music, Sybyr described the concept of Anti-World to be “a place where no fuckery is allowed.”
Sybyr’s clothing preferences and appearance are oftentimes met with backlash due to his defiance of gender norms. Chase can be seen sporting high-heels, lipstick, nail polish, and platform boots inside social media posts—stylistic choices that have been a cemented part of his persona since June 2016.
Sybyr’s discography is extensive, with over fifty bodies-of-work self-released since July 2012. Sybyr would publicly debut as MacXVII, releasing his fully-instrumental record, Space Trips. It would take nearly two years before Chase would experiment with vocals, releasing his loose single, “1449,” in April 2014.
On June 4, 2017, Sybyr was reported missing by many of his associates—he was last seen on June 2, 2017, inside Commerce City, Denver. On June 12, 2017, it was stated that he had been found and was safe. Unbeknownst to fans of the Maryland artist, Chase was spending time inside behavioral facilities and hospitals, which he detailed inside a September 2018 HAM Radio interview with All Def Music
Following Chase’s leave from the psychiatric ward on July 12, 2017, he decided to change his alias from Syringe to Sybhyr, first announced via a Facebook post. Chase later switched his pseudonym to Sybyr on July 16, 2017. Being homonymic with cyber, the Sybyr alias seemingly has roots from Sybyr’s childhood, where he routinely spent time on the internet.

The Mill
SYBYR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run up the mill
Chase the dollar bill, uh
Run up the mill
Chase the dollar bill
You don't wanna fuck around
And die on that hill
In the morning, gotta get ready, uh
There's no damn confetti, yeah
This party's getting messy, yeah
I walk in, feelin' myself
Riddin' myself of ill will
I perk up, not on Perc'
Fix yourself, that's the deal
Creature staring at my glow
Better flash and let 'em know
How this go
There's no out, only up
That's for sure
In the mix, grabbin' drinks
Take a sip, let it sink
What you think?
Are you trippin'? Can you blink?
Grab my knife, let it skin
Let it blood, let it thin
All that blood in the drink
I think that it's turnin' pink, yeah
Run up the mill
Chase the dollar bill
You don't wanna fuck around
And die on that hill
Keep your jitters steady, uh
In the morning, gotta get ready, uh
There's no damn confetti, yeah
This party's getting messy, yeah
All this noise got me buggin' in my sleep, sit still
All this walkin' got me achin' in my ankle, let's chill
All this chatter got me chatty when the opposite is real
All these thoughts circling 'round like I'm runnin' through the field
In the midst of all the pressure
It can garner out some steel
Like machinery at work
Nothing cares 'bout how you feel
When you're achin' in the habit of what works
Don't you know?
That there's always something else
Something unlike of before
Run up the mill
Chase the dollar bill
You don't wanna fuck around
And die on that hill
Keep your jitters steady
In the morning, gotta get ready, uh
There's no damn confetti, yeah
This party's getting messy, yeah
Run up the mill
Chase the dollar bill
You don't wanna fuck around
And die on that hill
Keep your jitters steady
In the morning, gotta get ready, yeah
There's no damn confetti, yeah
This party's getting messy, yeah

Something unlike of before
Even when what we're used to stops working, there are always new opportunities to explore

@dykishandfriends
I still remember walking through my highschool halls excited for hellhorse to come out, and actually listening to it in the same walls. Hellhorse is what put my brain into the state that’s like “damn wait, I can make whatever I fuckin want” and I cannot thank syringe/landfill enough for that initial feeing of true mental freedom. Truly one of the best artists of this time
@onyxrainify
Real shit, but to be honest while I respect his embrace of trying new things I feel like Sybyr lost some of his rawness during his Syringe days.
@Grey_7
@Stupid Goober facts
@antigreyt
@Stupid Goober true but I mean look at Tyler as an example of an artist developing and growing, I'd expect him to incorporate those older sounds into his music in the future too. From the interviews I've watched of sybyr he seems more than intelligent enough to use the tools at his disposal to make bangers
@orionsbelt2962
@Stupid Goober I’d say there’s a factor of his mental health improving too
@onyxrainify
@ORIONS BELT definitely, I'm happy for him because it seems like he's more focused but I just feel like he lost the edge that got him his attention. Idk, I just kinda feel like he was close to finding that right sound to get him to the next level but now it's kinda tame.
@TheFoolsArcana
I love when Sy does his own thing. Ik people might prefer his louder stuff but I fw this shit the most.
@kurokihollow4284
agree
@mxttyg
agreed. he can literally make anything without it sounding like he is tryin too hard and thats what i love about him
@lovablelycan
Been listening to Sybyr since “I don’t like you.” And I gotta say. This is it chief.
