I don't know how to put this into proper analysis yet but "Still" from the Anastasia musicall soundtrack is so Kellen's dad coded, that it's not funny.
like, "a son becomes a man at his father's knee, if my father asked questions where would we be." This is considering his own mother was shunned for having the shadow black like his own son, but his father had to do what he thought he must and never questioned anything. Also smth, smth, they might've not been able to continue as clan leaders.
Also the first line double reflects on how he thinks Kellen should just listen to him without question.
like 'I'm inncent she crys, but then you see her eyes, and something in them tells you that she absolutely lies." Tell me that's not the scene where the shadowblack appeared of Kellen's face, around his eye, and is often considered a sign of evil doing by the person who gets it.
Or "She says it's all a game, she trembles like a flower, but in her there's a power I see that now." Like that just describes the same scene with the extra context kellen is weak from a fight but also just unlocked his first band.
And the last section is just him going, "stillllll" as in that my might be my son but he's still a monster I must take power from. So it's just cuts to that bit where he's tattooing over the bands to take Kellen's power away.
Please someone must understand this.
