This set down things to come for The Offspring and contains some of their best songs. "Session" one of the few songs Offspring still play live sounds fresh even after 8 years. "LAPD" mocks the police force of LA and thrashs from begining to end. "Hypodermic" showing off the slower, darker Offspring sound & lyrics. This album mixes serious topics with some middle eastern riffs and punk flare and is the combo that worked best for Offspring. Every song is a winner on this disc, no fillers, deep and dark messages in a lot of the songs. If you like The Offspring or any of the punk bands that hit it big in the mid 90's punk explosion, you'll love this album.
Session
The Offspring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know how long she's gonna stay
Every week it's the same in her room
That's why I came
Here I go, I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session
[Chorus]
I'll never learn
God knows I try
Keep coming back for session
And I don't know why
I'll never learn, I'll never see
Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me
Some might say it's a fling
For all I know it don't mean a thing
Either way I can't complain
Ain't no strings
Guess I got it made
Here I go, I go again
Our rendezvous' never seem to end
I know where I'll be
I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session
[Chorus]
The Offspring's song Session chronicles the singer's inability to resist the lure of a weekly affair. The lyrics suggest a sense of resignation to the situation at hand, with the singer acknowledging that they don't know how long the affair will last or why they keep coming back for more. Despite this, they seem to enjoy the thrill of the rendezvous, even if they can't explain it. The repeated refrain of "I'll never learn" reflects the singer's awareness that they are not making the wisest decision but are unable to resist the magnetism of their partner.
The lyrics suggest that the singer sees the affair as something that is not serious, referred to as a "fling" and characterized by the lack of strings attached. This attitude, alongside the sense of helplessness, highlights the addictive nature of an affair in which the singer has become trapped. The final lines reflect the despair and desperation of the singer as they plead to understand why they cannot resist their partner's pull.
The lyrics of Session convey the familiar pain of a romantic affair that we know is not right but can't help falling for. The song is a reflection on the powerful and often inexplicable draw of passion and the difficulty of overcoming it despite being aware that giving in is wrong.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know when it got this way
I am unsure how this situation began or developed
I don't know how long she's gonna stay
I am unsure how much longer she will be in my life
Every week it's the same in her room
Our meetings are routine and predictable
That's why I came
I wanted to break out of the monotony
Here I go, I go again
I am repeating a familiar pattern of behavior
Our rendezvous never seem to end
Our meetings seemingly have no conclusion
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
I am aware of my actions and will admit to them
Back in her bed for another goddamn session
I will return to her and repeat the behavior I know is not good for me
I'll never learn
Despite past experiences, I am incapable of changing my actions
God knows I try
I am making an effort to change, but it is not succeeding
Keep coming back for session
I can't resist the temptation to repeat the behavior
And I don't know why
I am unsure why I keep returning to this situation
I'll never learn, I'll never see
I am aware that I am unable to change
Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me
I am seeking an explanation for my inability to leave this situation
Some might say it's a fling
Others might describe this as a casual relationship
For all I know it don't mean a thing
I am uncertain if this relationship has any real significance
Either way I can't complain
Regardless of the true nature of the relationship, I am content in the moment
Ain't no strings
There are no obligations or commitments binding us
Guess I got it made
I am satisfied with the situation as it is
