Two Paths is a lyrical meditation on choice, inheritance, and the weight of expectation. Inspired by Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken, the piece reframes the classic poem through the lens of contemporary life, anxiety, and survival. It is both homage and rupture — a sonic response to a canonical text that refuses to imagine the messiness of the present.

The track began as part of a "response art" practice, in which Ace meditates on a traditional work and reconstruct its themes in conversation with current social struggles. Here, the metaphor of diverging roads becomes a meditation on internal conflict — between solitude and conformity, hope and fear, rest and resistance. Lyrically, the song builds through layered verses that trace the psychological toll of existing within systems that demand performance, resilience, and clarity, even in moments of uncertainty.

Repetition in the hook — “Baby it’s one two step / Lately you've been so stressed” — mimics the spiraling thoughts of survival and self-doubt, while also offering movement as a metaphor for healing. The production pairs introspective vocal performance with shifting rhythmic textures, echoing the back-and-forth of indecision and endurance.

Two Paths doesn’t attempt to answer the question of which road to take — instead, it makes space for the chaos of questioning. In doing so, it proposes that the “mess” is not a place to avoid but a stage to survive, dance through, and reimagine.
