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.

You Just Need to Be Tamed
SYBYR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Tobacco just frying my lungs
Taste like coal on the tongue
Ask me what I'm on
I'm sitting down on a mound
I don't manage but if shawty wanna-hold it down
This all I got, got no probation
I'ma drink I hate the taste
All the shit I'm dealing
Man I'm scrapping for the feeling
All that goddamn drama
Over clout is just retarded
Don't care bout who started
Just a circus full of problems
They just itchin for a fixing 'cause I got me a plate
Always hate, 'cause we got in early, time to close the gates
You got fake, but just really hurt I hear it from ya face
What's a life, without little pain, running in a race
I got tired, of the same thing, so I made a lane
It is flooded, from these plain lames
That could be a shame
Ears ringing, like the phone rang
Y'all cannot sang
Nor shout, you need a little neuter
You just need to be tamed
ME
ME
ME
ME
ME
ME
Deal With It
Aye You fucking Deal With It
The lyrics of Sybyr's song "You Just Need to Be Tamed" delve into themes of self-medication, coping mechanisms, and existential reflection. The opening lines, "Smoking on bushels, Tobacco just frying my lungs, Taste like coal on the tongue," illustrate a self-destructive behavior, possibly referring to using tobacco products to numb emotional pain or confusion. The harsh taste and impact on the lungs can be seen as a metaphor for the harmful choices one makes in times of distress.
The reference to being asked "what I'm on" suggests a sense of detachment or being in a different headspace than those around him. The mention of sitting on a mound and not managing while wanting someone to "hold it down" depicts a yearning for stability or support amidst chaotic circumstances. The juxtaposition of hating the taste of alcohol but finding it filling reveals a struggle with finding solace in temporary distractions that may come with negative consequences.
The lyrics further delve into the complexities of dealing with inner turmoil and external pressures. The mention of drama over clout and the sense of being surrounded by problems can be interpreted as a critique of societal norms and the performative nature of interactions. The line "What's a life, without little pain, running in a race" speaks to the inevitability of challenges and obstacles in life and the need to carve out one's own path to break free from monotonous cycles.
The closing verses bring a sense of defiance and empowerment as the singer expresses a desire for change and self-assertion. The decision to make a lane for oneself and distance from the mundane and uninspired choices of others signifies a quest for individuality and authenticity. The metaphor of needing to be "tamed" suggests a longing for growth, self-discovery, and breaking free from societal expectations. The repetition of "ME" emphasizes self-awareness and self-ownership, culminating in a bold declaration to confront challenges head-on and demand accountability from others.
