The song “El Makina” by JadaL primarily reflects on the notions of nostalgia, belonging, and the desire for recognition. The lyrics depict the singer's yearning for the familiar, past places and people that no longer exist. The opening lines, "Oh God, you are my companion traveling with me on this journey, I have no one but you" express that the singer's bond with divine power is the closest they have ever felt to a companion. The singer longs for a place of comfort and refuge where they can truly belong. They recall people who taunted them for their accent and pronunciation of words, but the singer laments they no longer exist, "they disappeared like the countryside."
Furthermore, the singer possesses an affectionate sense of nostalgia for a place they've left behind. The chorus "They told me to go and change my accent to be accepted by the people of the city, and I refused, I am Ashkalani to the core" concerns the pressures of assimilation, the fear of losing oneself while adapting to a new place. The singer refuses to change their accent and betray their roots, despite the ridicule they faced. The singer desires a place that recognizes and accepts their identity, one that feels like home. Finally, the singer repeats the line, "Ah" throughout the song, conveying their deep longing and sadness for a place and people that no longer exist.

this is my condition, take me as i am, with or without money
careless? no i'm not, i'm walking and working like a machine!
if they ask me to invade a country, i'd kill all the poetry writers, and every pen holder (means Writers)
these are thoughts, not just to be written, they are melodies to be sung "till son of the son!" (Arabic Proverb refers to long-term)
and if this happens and no one ever write; how easy it is to erase any country's name!
and Love, not enough for her
and Art, cannot feed kids (means it's useless, cannot make money)
and people, people what would they say about you?
and wedding that gives her diamond, and a house in a high-class neighborhood
for people, for people, it's all just for making people satisfied!
