Reclaiming one's life ('I Want My Life Back') resonates deeply with the Khmer concept of 'Kruos' (Family) vs. Self - finding individual agency within collective expectation.

When I close that laptop at night
When the noise goes low and my heart comes back
I want my life back not a little not most
I sold my days to get by
αα»αα²ααα
α·ααααααααααααΆαα I want my life back
I want my life back
Blue light morning same old run
Calendar full before day one
I chase perfect pay the cost
I keep winning and still feel lost
I do my job I do it right
But work takes my days then wants my nights
Regret gets a bill it comes too fast
So Im done letting fear run my path
Regret gets a bill it comes too fast
So Im done letting fear run my path
If I get one life I want it real
So I reach for the light I can feel
When I close that laptop at night
When the noise goes low and my heart comes back
I want my life back not a little not most
I sold my days to get by
αα»αα²ααα
α·ααααααααααααΆαα I want my life back
I want my life back
One week holiday then pressure comes back
I unpack my suitcase the stress stays packed
Rested on paper then I snap
Same noise returns same weight on my back
Thats when I knew I dont need escape
I need peace that stays when the trip fades
Pressure hits again like it knows my name
So I calm down I dont play that game
Phone face down on the table room finally still
One slow breath yeah thats my will
Im taking my time back minute by minute
Not quitting my duty Im changing whats in it
ααΈαα·ααα»αααΆααα αα»αα²ααα
α·αααααααα peace stay here
When I close that laptop at night
When the noise goes low and my heart comes back
I want my life back and I want it right now
Not just on weekends not on countdowns
αα»αα²ααα
α·ααααααααααααΆαα I want my life back
I want my life back
I want my life back
I want my life back
I want my life back
No more someday in another year
If Ive got one life I want it here
I want my life back
