The goal was to create 12 songs that he would enjoy listening to and could give to friends as a present at the end of the year. A couple months and a couple songs later, he came up with the name Mars Water, combining his interests and fears in both astronomy and the ocean. For live shows Ponny gained the help of his previous band mates Kiley Plass (Drums) and William Van Downey (Bass), and later completed the band line-up with the addition of Peter Abraham (Guitar).

Tea for Two
Mars Water Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't feel the sun
No, I can't feel it's fun
It is not that close to here
And it's not that time of year
But it is somewhere else
I'll go there so I can help

And have

Fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun

I can't feel the sun
No, I can't feel it's fun
I just wanna have some bear
And forget about last year

It wasn't
Fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun

Fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun

Overall Meaning

The line "it's not that time of year" suggests that perhaps the singer is in a location where the sun is not present during certain seasons.

The second stanza refers to a desire to forget about the past year and have some beer, indicating that the singer has experienced some hardship or personal struggles. The repetition of "fun, fun, fun" highlights a craving for a lighthearted and carefree existence, that the current reality cannot offer.

The lyrics overall express feelings of disconnection and a longing for a different reality. The singer wants to escape their current situation, which they find unsatisfactory, and seek out happiness, fun, and solace elsewhere.
