I agree with most of the comments above. This is a fascinating band who has evolved as they have aged.
I think the song simply refers to taking that chance. It's incredibly uplifting.
Take a chance; find what you believe in. Go forward with open eyes (no sunglasses) knowing that it might have downfalls/ pitfalls/ (no umbrellas; no safety nets).
The first verse makes me think that whatever he's found is greater than all the experiences he's had leading up to this moment, and fear cannot/ should not hold him back because after all If no now when? when we will do the things that present themselves to us, but we hold back because of fear, etc.
IT's a great album.
