I always thought of this song as pentacostal in it's message, but that fits more to what it meant to me when I first heard it, not Natalie. Aside from the obvious lyrics that tie to this subject, May is right after April (Easter) which on a timeline would be the time of Pentacost. I could see other responses meeting the true intent from Natalie Merchant's pespective. She may well be a Christian though.
