Crossroads from Instinct by Zak Roams
Crossroads is a bass driven electronic track about making a choice in your life and pondering wether it was the right decision or not. Many times in our lives we will come to a "crossroad" in our life, where we must choose between many options.
Crossroads begs the question.
How do we know which decision is the right one? will we truly ever know?
And is not having a decision better than making a decision and regretting the outcome?
This song was inspired by a trip i made in 2020 to New South Wales, Australia. When driving back home to Victoria, my GF and I decided to drive home via a road which crossed through a giant national park. We didn't know this at the time, until we were 20kms on the road, and there was no option to turn back!

Lyrics
Verse One:
Unsealed road & blackened sky
Hours of descent & still we're falling
Razor cliffs & piercing gaze
Cold creeps in & the eyes feel rusty
So i push on forward, but i keep looking back
Was my choice correct or will i regret it
Now doubt creeps in and I fight my instinct
Time drips by and my minds wearing thin
Pre - Chorus
Left or right, I had to decide
& now time runs low
Was I right, or was I wrong
Chorus
My crossroads are haunting me
This playback just will not stop
Someone blind me from my path
The darkest cave can be my truth
Verse Two:
White bright lights pierce the frost bit night
The sand drips near the end, but at least we made it
The gate keepers abuse their power
Of course they cannot stray from their masters
So I try to plead and I try to bargain
This road may of got me home but who knows at what cost?
Pre - Chorus
Left or right, I had to decide
& now time runs low
Was I right, or was I wrong
Chorus
My crossroads are haunting me
This playback just will not stop
Someone blind me from my path
The darkest cave can be my truth
