The lyrics to Canardo's song "Inchallah" reflect the artist's aspirations and struggles as he navigates through life. The first verse highlights the attachment to dreams that lead to a place where the sun rises and shines brightly. However, the reality in which he lives does not reflect this, as the night falls and does not bring any brightness. Despite this, he acknowledges that the wheel keeps turning and he continues to work hard. He feels like he's been going in circles and decides not to follow the footsteps of others, choosing instead to be alone but for himself. The reference to "Amine c'est Amen" might signify his desire for blessings and positive outcomes.
The chorus emphasizes his hope and prayers to be guided by the heavens and dream of floating on clouds. He acknowledges that his journey will only happen if it's God's will, expressing his faith with the phrase "inch'Allah" which means "if God wills it" in Arabic. This repetition of "inch'Allah" conveys his unwavering belief in leaving his destiny in the hands of a higher power.
In the second verse, he contemplates the changes happening around him, unsure if it is his perspective or the world that has transformed. He questions his own state of mind, stating that he doesn't know if things are going well or not and that someone (possibly a loved one) still speaks to him and watches over him, providing him with some form of comfort and protection.
The song's lyrics overall showcase Canardo's yearning for a brighter future and his willingness to surrender control to a higher force. It reflects his desire for faith, guidance, and ultimately finding his path towards fulfillment.
