In one of Matisyahus songs called "warrior" he starts talkin to the crowd and says "everything in this world, everything in this life has an inner essence, an inner soul and when it started out before this soul was reincarnated into this life, into this body time and place that we find ourselves...."
my friend claims that sounds buddhist...what does matis mean when he says this?

There were multiple sect within the Jewish religions. Three that we know about are the Pharisees, Sadducee's and Essenes... but there were multiple more... each had different beliefs... some believed in reincarnation and some didn't, some believed in resurrection and some didn't... The belief in reincarnation is a very OLD concept that has been around and part of religions for thousands of years before Christ... It floated in and out of religions over the ages and so when this was written it may have been a popular concept again...
God is the source of all things... and God's essence is in all things... so we have an inner essence of spiritual nature that fuses with our physical nature to form our SOUL... and this spiritual nature that comes from God, may be the thing that Matis is referring to.... Hope these two ideas help...

It means that our souls are released from a much higher place than this world; closer to the creator.

Judaism teaches that our lives start in heaven with G-d, before we are actually born. Once our physical body is conceived, we 'move' into it, until we die.

Crash_Dummy is right! You are incarnated from heaven into the physical body.
