Although many Mae songs have religious undertones, I have always viewed this song as the build-up of a romatic relationship between two people.
Throughout the song a storm builds (ie a relationship) that finally climaxes in a torrential down pour too powerful to be held in. I agree with the idea perviously stated that the rain in this song is refering to love. I see the final down pour as the moment two people share intimacy so powerful it boarders on the spiritual.
A torrential downpour
With potential for more
We cease to fight this tension
That ignites us here in the dark
Cause tension causes friction
And this friction leads to sparks
The rain has filled this cup
And before it overflows
I wanna take you in now
Here it goes
