Cover art for Chances lyrics by John Frusciante

This is my favorite JF song, probably one of the most relevant song of our time. We are near the end of times "I feel the tightening of the dawn", to truly live is to live with the will to die. John has become aware of the true consciousness "i'm not me anymore", an ego death in a sense. "Are you everywhere" implies the awareness of a greater mind or soul that transcends the physical realm and that we are all one, what sets us apart is awareness versus ignorance. THIS IS the time to die for those who are aware, we are in the darkest age of ignorance, the kali yuga in Hinduism, the last phase of the cosmic cycle in the mayan calendar, the end times in Christianity. "Chances come and go", this dark age that is about to end is however the easiest one to reach enlightenment in and break free "cutting off of fate like a string" from the cyclic fate of life and rebirth. Figure out your spirituality before its too late, the end is near. Become who you really are: a part of God, and be free from the world.
