Their first record "Najvaznije je biti zdrav" (The Most Important Thing Is To Be Healthy) came out in 1990 for the first indie record label in YU "Search and Enjoy." At first, O.P. was against publishing, but they finally did after 10 years of constant touring. Their shows were mostly on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia.
In spite of hard political situation in Yugoslavia throughout next 10 years, band succeeded to publish and promote 5 more LPs + 1 live, trying to keep up the pace with the best in alternative music, as much as technically was possible in this region of Europe. O.P. were the first Yugoslavian band with their video clip broadcasted on MTV's "120 minutes" and also they were on John Peel's tracklistings in 2002. They were an opening band for PLACEBO concert in Belgrade, 2003. Also, band O.P. is one of the rare bands that performed at EXIT Festival every year from its start.
During the 20 years of O.P. existence, its members were changing, but for the last few years the members remained the same.

Mala kuća pored crkve
(Prolaznici bezopasno ruke moje povlače)
Zatvorena vrata molim
Da se sama otvore
(Prolaznici bezopasno ruke moje povlače)
Kada neko kaže stoj
(Prolaznici bezopasno ruke moje povlače)
Zadah pića, ručka, kafe
Pozivaš me, prihvatam
(Prolaznici bezopasno ruke moje povlače)
Hodao sam ulicom
Dok su psi spavali
(Meni treba zvuk tišine u njemu je korak lak)
Iznad neba plovi brod
Sidro mi na glavu baca
(Meni treba zvuk tišine u njemu je korak lak)
Ulicama kocke leda
Koktel ljudi ispijam
(Meni treba zvuk tišine u njemu je korak lak)
Skačem, hodam, zastajem
Na plakatu poznat lik
(Meni treba zvuk tišine u njemu je korak lak)
Trenutak je kratak čas
Bezbedno se osećam
(Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji vreme drugom daje)
Mladost tiho dopire
Trzaš se i ustaješ
(Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji vreme drugom daje)
U ruci držim paket plavi
Srećan ti je rođendan
(Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji vreme drugom daje)
Pružas ruke, kažeš hvala
Topla reč mi zastaje
(Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji vreme drugom daje)
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje
The lyrics of "Poklanjam Ti Sebe" by Obojeni Program are about the singer's observations and experiences as they walk through different spaces and interact with different people. The first stanza describes a small house next to a church, with closed doors that the singer asks to open. The second stanza includes the line "When someone says stop, I try to pause," suggesting that the singer is trying to slow down and take in their surroundings. The third stanza refers to the singer walking through the streets while dogs sleep and a ship drops anchor on their head. The fourth stanza mentions the singer drinking a "cocktail of people" and stopping to look at a familiar face on a poster.
The fifth stanza begins with the line "The moment is brief, I feel safe," implying that the singer finds solace in fleeting moments. The stanza goes on to describe someone thanking the singer for a blue package, possibly a birthday gift. The final stanza repeats the phrase "Besmrtan je onaj čovek koji drugom vreme daje," which translates to "Immortal is the man who gives time to another." This line serves as a conclusion to the song, emphasizing the importance of giving one's time to others.
Overall, "Poklanjam Ti Sebe" is a reflective and introspective song that encourages listeners to appreciate the moments in life and prioritize relationships with others.
