"Red Right Hand"

"Red Right Hand" is a phrase originally from a Victorian-era poem by John Milton, and it has been popularized through music and culture, notably by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It symbolizes a mysterious, powerful force or presence associated with control, influence, or retribution—often with an ominous or dark undertone. The "red" can suggest blood, danger, or authority, while the "right hand" signifies a position of power or action. Overall, it evokes the idea of an unseen but influential force that exerts authority, often in a shadowy or morally complex manner.
