Los Angeles, CA – July 10, 2025 — The boundary-pushing darkwave trio Liminal Shade returns with their electrifying new single, “Fixation,” a track born from irony, quiet rage, and the sharp edge of consequence.
A Seductive Smirk in the Shadows
“Fixation” came from a place of irony and quiet rage. It’s about desire, yes. But more so about what happens when people get exactly what they asked for. The lyrics repeat like a mantra because that’s how those moments feel: looping in your head, over and over, when someone crosses a line and then plays innocent.
“I wanted it to feel like a seductive smirk, not screaming, just looking them in the eye and saying, ‘You wanted this, remember? Now you get what you deserve,’” shares vocalist Mar Boreal.
There’s a lot of sarcasm in this track. It’s sweet on the surface, like dessert, but underneath there’s bite. Making it feel like reclaiming power, turning frustration into something dark and beautiful. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever been underestimated, objectified, or used—and then watched that energy turn back on the other person like a mirror. You asked for it. Now, you gotta take it how it is.
