This mean there is always some kind of path in life that he is forced to follow, but the problem is that he does not know which path is the correct one to choose. This is stated in the previous line, which goes, "I'm born to indecision." When someone says that they are born to indecision, what they are actually saying is that they cannot make up their mind about something.

In other words, he does not know which road to take.
