jwt7000 This sounds addictive and fun. While Neilio rocks the music, Elyxir is one rad singer to look out for in her future releases. Since there's already a couple synthwave queens and a synthwave princess, it's too soon to say if Elyxir will be the next and future Synthwave Dutchess.

Manhatten (Fan) Powerful vocals and a driving groove to it - blistering first release. 🎹💜

FoxPuppy This song is the height and heart of what pop music should be. Energetic music, dynamic performance, melody that is brain velcro, and a depth of songwriting that can be explored by the deeper thinkers and ignored by those who just wanna dance. An excellent start for a vocalist and rock star with so much potential.

Michael Anthony - IEM Radio Love this debut track from Elyxir! I’ll be listening to this a lot. Her vocals are awesome and they sound great combined with the tempo. Favorite track: Mother Mania.

dharmalogos This debut does not disappoint. It has a very catchy synth pop sound but has angry lyrics dealing with a topic not typical of the lighter side of the synthwave genre. Elyxir's vocal style and melodies make her distinctive. Solid production. I'm keeping an eye on what Elyxir does. It's too early to tell, but maybe in another year we will be comparing her to Megan McDuffee and Jesse Frye.

about

Mother Mania is the debut original single from Melbourne Retrowave starlette ELYXIR, and the third official release for UK synthwave producer Neilio. Bold, dramatic, and full of infectious hooks, Mother Mania is a high octane guitar driven synth bop that packs an absolute punch, with ferocious licks, slaps, and guitar riffs combined with a potently catchy melodic topline.

Lyrically, Mother Mania explores how we are often damaged by those who are supposed to be the people and institutions that claim to love us most, and care about our safety and wellbeing. Often, we realize this, but either through a choice to remain ignorant, a choice to forgive, or feeling powerless to change, we accept and embrace them anyway.

Expect to both ponder and dance, or potentially ponder whilst dancing, when bopping along to Mother Mania.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Your calculated distraction
Through algorithmic destruction
Like me! You say I need you to "like me" now
Cold hands, warm suffocation
True likes, fake condemnation
Guilty? You don't care if I'm guitly no!

PRE
Immortal enemy: war in reality
I'm just a casualty of your calamity

CHORUS
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you

VERSE 2
You take the lead and say "follow"
Coercion 'til we are hollow
Silence: you say I'm violent with silence now
The cards were stacked in your favor
Yet you're desperate now for a savior
You caused the storm, you're a traitor, a traitor!

PRE
Immortal enemy: war in reality
I'm just a casualty of your calamity

CHORUS
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
(I tried I tried I tried)
(I tried I tried I tried)
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

BRIDGE
There's no escape, there's no return
I'm just collateral to burn
I'll drift away, embrace your arms
Oh mother mother save me now
Mother save me now
(Mother, mother)
(Mother, mother)
(Mother, mother mania)
(Mother, mother)
Mother, mother

CHORUS
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I tried to fight you
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried, I tried

OUTTRO
Take me, take me mother mania
Save me, save me mother mania
Take me, take me mother mania
Mother mother mother
Mother mania
