Time Of The Season
The Zombies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When love runs high
And this time, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
To take you in the sun to (promised lands)
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name? (What's your name?)
Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)
(He rich?) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken (has he taken)
Any time (any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly (tell you what?)
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name? (What's your name?)
Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)
(He rich?) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken (has he taken)
Any time (any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly (tell you what?)
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
The lyrics to the song "Time of the Season" by The Zombies are a reflection of the sexual liberation and free love culture of the 1960s. The song makes use of a seductive tone to encourage sexual exploration, with the metaphor of taking someone to the "promised land" representing the euphoria that can be attained through sexual pleasure. The lyrics also touch on themes of social status and material wealth, with the repeated question about the father's financial status implying that such things are important factors in romantic relationships.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the idea that it is the "time of the season for loving", which is a nod to the cultural shift towards sexual freedom and experimentation during that era. The singer is asking their lover to bare their soul to them, and to satisfy their curiosity about their life and desires. The line "tell it to me slowly, I really want to know" suggests that the singer is eager to explore not only physical intimacy but emotional intimacy as well.
Overall, "Time of the Season" is a song that celebrates the spirit of the 1960s counterculture, with its embrace of sexual freedom, anti-establishment sentiment, and questioning of traditional values.
