Time - Love the Serpent

To Rate
My dad used to say eat the food you take and finish it
Food for thought yeah knowledge is what the dinner is
Zen mind open mind like a beginners is
There's snakes I stopped kicking with, fakes with bitterness
I harnessed my discipline, found ambition within
Psychic kick spin, broke down walls like Berlin
Poison lurking, canary in the mine chirping
I saved the bird, we're all connected and deserving
Curses I'm reversing, my past lives are merging
Leaving is returning, the healing is hurting
Tea steam swirling, knowledge transferring
I take a sip it's working, reality's blurring
Eternal flame burning the message was urgent
The dream guide said you have dreams reoccurring
Of past friends turned enemies in a hurry
I told him it was true his insight observant
He said it'll never stop till you love the serpent
He ordered more kava tea from the dream merchant
He told me bout Buddha and his enlightened saga
And how by the tree he was protected by Naga
The rain drizzled, the path he said stay in the middle
In mid journey dreams, every vision is a riddle
When your voice shakes that's a soul testimony
He said now it's time for your burial ceremony
He saw himself in the coffin, parts that needed to die
Malnourished truths all they had to eat was lies
He buried the parts, they were seeds to his soul
He watered them with the wisdom of letting go
The snow came he welcomed the feeling of being cold
The moon was half lit with a celestial fold
Sipping wine watching the universe go by
Reading Hafiz a golden compass in the sky
Staring at the same stars Rumi once did
The wound is the place where the light comes in
The wound is the place where the light comes in
The wound is the place where the light comes in
The wound is the place where the light comes in

Time

Time was a rock band from Yugoslavia that made a significant impact on the music scene in the 1970s. Formed in 1971 by Dado Topić, who had previously been a member of Korni Grupa, the band quickly gained a following with their unique blend of progressive rock and jazz influences.

The original lineup of Time included Dado Topić on vocals, Tihomir “Pop” Asanović on organ, Vedran Božić on guitar, Mario Mavrin on bass, Ratko Divjak on drums, and Brane Lambert Živković on piano and flute. Over the years, the lineup changed frequently, but the core members remained dedicated to creating innovative and captivating music.

Time released three albums during their time together, each showcasing their musical versatility and talent. Their first album featured a prominent Hammond organ, piano, and flute, while their second album had a harder sound with several ballads. The third album introduced a jazz-funk production style, further expanding their musical repertoire.

Some of Time's most popular songs include “Da li znaš da te volim”, “Rock ‘n’ roll u Beogradu”, and “Istina mašina”, which showcased their ability to create memorable and engaging music that resonated with audiences.

After disbanding in late 1977, Dado Topić embarked on a successful solo career, but the legacy of Time continued to live on. In 1998 and 2001, the band reunited for a limited number of live concerts, delighting fans with their timeless music and energetic performances.

Today, Time still plays together as a rock trio, continuing to captivate audiences with their unique sound and enduring musical legacy. Their influence can be heard in the work of many contemporary artists, solidifying their place in the history of Yugoslavian rock music.
