Cover art for Fortune Faded lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Fortune faded, in conjuction with it's video seems to describe a buzz or high from crime. Someone who enjoys the thrill of doing something they ain't supposed to be but making sure they get a way with it. "fortune faded" refers to the fact that eventually luck will run out and once caught, the thrill will end (like at the end of the video). The jibe at God seems to refer to 'the man' or the law, someone in charge and the defiance of this authority is exciting.

@hyphen15 I agree with you %100
