Release Me Lyrics

Cover art for Release Me lyrics by Mae

Every now and then the lyrics of a Mae song are pregnant with spiritual faith (Christian faith.) ... this is one of those songs, although obscure enough to be talking about interpersonal relationships (man and woman) ... the lyrics use common scriptural imagery to conjure double entendre inclusive of prophetic longing for the "early and latter rains" to release, fill and establish his "broken well" to "overflowing" ...

Lets take down our curtains (living authentically with nothing to hide) and let the exposure (uncomfortable / tense but necessary baring of secrets) be a blanket in the shared intimacy with another ... in this case: his Beloved (Savior.) This is the release that he longs for and for which he is willing to endure tension and torrents and lightening and thunder.

I disagree, Yes Mae is indeed a Christian band but not all the music created by them is related to religion. I will say this song hints toward their spiritual beliefs but it is not the main theme.
