With their 1973 debut album Troia they became an overnight sensation, improvising surreal stories over carefully-arranged orchestral pieces. The formula was repeated on their subsequent 13 albums (the most recent of which appeared in 1994), with an increasing amount of profanity in the lyrics and references to famous songs in the music. In the mid-Eighties they even made two cheap B-movies.

The lyrics to Squallor's song "Karatè" are quite abstract and nonsensical, making it difficult to assign a specific meaning to them. The song primarily consists of repetitive vocalizations, emphasizing various syllables and sounds. The lyrics do not seem to convey a coherent narrative or message, but rather serve as a rhythmic and expressive component of the song.
The repeated use of "a-a-a-h," "aaaah," and "aaaaaaah" suggests a sense of primal emotion or intensity. These vocalizations add an element of rawness and passion to the song. The lyrics also include phrases like "walking through the babe," "walking through the dying man," and "walking through night," which further contribute to the enigmatic and atmospheric nature of the song. The inclusion of words like "night," "damn," and "dying" create an aura of darkness and mystery.
Overall, "Karatè" by Squallor seems to prioritize rhythm, vocal expression, and a certain evocative mood over clear and coherent lyrics. It embraces abstraction, allowing the listener to interpret the song's meaning based on their own subjective experiences and emotions.
