Absolute Sole Right
Dimmu Borgir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the other worlds beneath them flow
Time winds caressing the dust of cold memories
Sought, to strive in twilight mist and penal fire
[Chorus]
As daylight suffers, night time recollects
For what wind hath drawn near, so nearâ?¦
Death has a contract on life and hell in-between
What was once not certain is now foreseen
When the pendulum is in it's reverse factor
Rivers run red and skies turn black
Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within
Conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss
A magisterial maintenance of diabolic education
Where the opposite of innocence paves way for intelligence
Where pearls are chained for each tragic event
The glorification of deviance in progress
Liars in wait tries to quench their thirst for more
Drowning victims of a parallel universe
The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fouls
The world hates you for being precise
The lyrics to Dimmu Borgir's song "Absolute Sole Right" are about the inevitability of death and how the world is constantly changing around us. The first few lines describe cyclones detached from the world above and other worlds flowing beneath them, which represents the chaos and unpredictability of life. The following lines discuss time and its ability to caress the dust of cold memories, indicating how time and memories are intertwined and how they shape our existence. The final lines of the verse speak of striving in twilight mist and penal fire, which suggests a sense of determination in the face of adversity or struggle.
The chorus of the song describes the contrast between daylight and nighttime, with daylight suffering and nighttime recollecting. The lyrics also suggest that death has a contract on life and that, what was once uncertain, is now foreseen. The second verse speaks of the pendulum in reverse factor, which symbolizes the unpredictability of life and how everything can change in an instant. The lyrics become more intense, as they describe rivers running red and skies turning black, indicating a sense of chaos and violence. The lines about accuracies of bloodbaths liberating from within reveal an acceptance of violence and death, as a necessary part of life.
The final lines of the song describe a world where liars are waiting to quench their thirst for more, and victims are drowning in a parallel universe. The glorification of deviance is in progress, indicating a sense of corruption and decay. The song concludes with the line, "The world hates you for being precise," which speaks to the isolation and loneliness that can come from being too precise or too controlled in a world that is constantly changing.

As cyclones detach from the world above
As powerful storms separate from the sky
And all the other worlds beneath them flow
And the lower worlds beneath them are affected
Time winds caressing the dust of cold memories
The passing of time gently touching the remnants of past experiences
Sought, to strive in twilight mist and penal fire
Seeking to endure the challenges of an uncertain journey
[Chorus]
Refrain
As daylight suffers, night time recollects
As the day faces hardship, the night remembers
For what wind hath drawn near, so nearâ?¦
For whatever force has approached, so closely...
Death has a contract on life and hell in-between
Death has an agreement with life, and there is a hellish realm in the middle
What was once not certain is now foreseen
What was once unknown is now expected
When the pendulum is in it's reverse factor
When the oscillating weight is in its opposite state
Rivers run red and skies turn black
Rivers flow with blood, and the sky darkens
Accuracies of bloodbaths liberate from within
The exactness of mass killings free something inside
Conquests of a crooked cross and its coming loss
Triumphs of a corrupted symbol and its forthcoming defeat
A magisterial maintenance of diabolic education
A majestic preservation of evil teachings
Where the opposite of innocence paves way for intelligence
Where the antithesis of purity leads to knowledge
Where pearls are chained for each tragic event
Where precious things are restricted due to every tragic occurrence
The glorification of deviance in progress
The celebration of abnormality in motion
Liars in wait tries to quench their thirst for more
Deceivers that wait attempt to fulfill their desire for more
Drowning victims of a parallel universe
Victims of an alternate realm submerged
The scum of the earth, a rejoice of fouls
The vilest of humanity, a celebration of the wicked
The world hates you for being precise
The world despises you for being accurate
