The toil of all that be
Helps not the primal fault
It rains into the sea
And still the sea is salt.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hi-Tekk & Squat's song [Untitled] convey a profound message through simple and concise words. The opening line, "The toil of all that be," suggests the efforts and struggles of humanity. It speaks to the collective labor and endeavors of individuals and societies alike. However, it asserts that these efforts do not alleviate the "primal fault," which can be interpreted as the inherent flaws or imperfections within human nature. Despite our ceaseless toiling, this fault remains unchanged.


The next line, "It rains into the sea," metaphorically alludes to the idea that our efforts and hard work are like rain pouring into the vast expanse of the sea. It implies that our struggles and accomplishments, no matter how significant or expansive, eventually merge into something larger, symbolized by the sea. Lastly, the concluding line, "And still the sea is salt," signifies the unchanging nature of our existence. Salt, as a mineral, is eternal and does not lose its salty properties. Similarly, the sea remains salty regardless of the rainwater pouring into it. This evokes a sense of futility, as our human efforts continually add to the collective whole without altering the fundamental nature of our existence.
