LODIC has released “reflection”, his 10th release, moving into darker electronic territory while exploring themes of obsession, identity and attachment.
Released on August 12, the track centres on a narrator who becomes increasingly unable to separate himself from the object of his fixation. The idea of a reflection functions as both a literal image and a metaphor for an internal presence that becomes difficult to escape.
“I followed my reflection / until I couldn’t walk away / I followed my reflection / knowing I shouldn’t have stayed,” LODIC sings.
The production takes a darker and more atmospheric approach than the artist’s earlier electronic material, while melodic hooks remain central to the arrangement. The track moves between contrasting emotional states, including melancholy and euphoria, as the narrator confronts the relationship between attraction, identity and self-destruction.
“reflection” forms part of LODIC’s ongoing exploration of identity, vulnerability and transformation, with the song leaving its central metaphor open to interpretation.
“reflection” is available on streaming platforms.
