As far as I know You May Not Be Released was one of the three songs they proposed for the Uluru documentary of which The Dead Heart was ultimately chosen so I always assumed it was about the social issues of the aboriginal communities.

Hi.  I reckon that "Written in the heart" is simply about people carrying in their hearts and minds words which one may once have put out there in a public form, which is a good thing particularly if one's local President (or Supreme Leader?) "has taken shooting off the street" (to Basij headquarters or God knows where else).
 
"You may not be released" seems to be an anti-suicide song.
