about

The lyrics for Ode to Mathias are directly adapted from this sonnet by a teenage Leah Koenig. Here we go!

Ode to Mathias
My kindred spirit put out by the rain
But in my grin he always will remain
And when the idle days o'er take my soul
I stop and softly pine for him in vain.

Our moments spent were short and precious few
As fragrant sweet as bursting honeydew
But when the last fruit was picked from the whole
It could not last, a thing I knew. He knew.

One blurry snapshot I have to remind
Me of the laughing soul I left behind
A few small tokens left for me to hold
Intensify my brain's inner rewind.

But thoughts of him are not a wasted toil
For my heart still is open fertile soil.
