Far as I know, deep web addresses get assigned randomly, so the album might be called SYRO simply because the address he got started with syro. and he though it was a cool name for it.
This is the sort of significance I could extract from quick search for the song titles:
CIRCL could stand for Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg. U473 is a Unicode character. It’s also a type of Nazi German U-boat. Minipops are little pixel dudes.180db is where death of hearing tissue begins. Produk is Hindi for product.Aisatsana is Anastasia spelled backwards.
