The story
2 a.m. Empty parking lot. GPS asking "where to?" and no answer.
The worst night is over. He asked for help. The storm went quiet... but nobody tells you what comes next. His parents walked through the jungle in the dark with nothing, and they never lost their way. He has everything they fought for, and he can't pick a road.

LYRICS | ទំនុកច្រៀង
[Intro] Two a.m.... still sitting in the car. Where to?
[Verse 1] Parked in an empty lot, streetlight humming yellow Off the night shift, warehouse dust in my hair, feeling hollow GPS asking me "where to?", cursor blinking slow Typed a word, deleted it, 'cause I don't even know Scrolling through my feed, everybody getting married, buying homes Kids I grew up with, nurses, engineers, they grown I hit like with a smile that I don't really mean Everybody moving forward, I'm stuck somewhere in between
[Hook] បងវង្វេង, don't know which way to go Morning came, but you're still sitting in the cold So many roads, and none of them feel like home បងវង្វេង... (I'm lost... where to?)
[Verse 2] ម៉ែ says "ទៅរៀនវិញទៅកូន", it's never too late ប៉ា says "ធ្វើការឲ្យជាប់", save your money, keep it straight Doctor says take it slow, healing's not a race But nobody's got a map for a kid in my place I take my pills in the morning and at night, like they said The storm went quiet, but there's fog inside my head Like a boat with no shore, like a wind with no name I'm moving every day, but I'm going nowhere all the same
[Hook] បងវង្វេង, don't know which way to go Morning came, but you're still sitting in the cold So many roads, and none of them feel like home បងវង្វេង... (I'm lost... where to?)
[Verse 3] ម៉ែ and ប៉ា walked through the jungle in the dead of night Nothing in their hands, but they knew which way was right Get to the camp, so one day their kids could have a life One direction, never once looked behind Now I got a car with a full tank and the keys And I can't choose a road, I'm just frozen in this seat They had nothing, but they never lost their way I got everything... and I'm lost today
[Bridge] ប៉ា... were you scared back then? Walking through the dark, did you know where it ends? Or were you lost too, just like your son? But you kept on walking... ប៉ានៅតែដើរ
[Final Hook] បងវង្វេង, don't know which way to go Morning came, but you're still sitting in the cold So many roads, and none of them feel like home បងវង្វេង... but you're still here I'm still here.
[Outro] Morning now... GPS still asking where to... I don't know yet. ខ្ញុំមិនទាន់ដឹង... Where to? សំឡេង Studio
