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
[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]

He seems to be aware of the unhealthiness of the situation, but can't seem to break free. He admits to making a confession and being back in her bed for yet another session. He expresses his confusion, questioning why he can't seem to stop returning.
The lyrics show a clear struggle with being addicted to something or someone, despite knowing it's not good for him. The repetition of going back for "another goddamn session" highlights the cyclical nature of addiction and the difficulty of breaking free. The chorus "I'll never learn, God knows I try, keep coming back for session and I don't know why" amplifies the singer's sense of powerlessness and self-awareness of his situation.

@@cindyrobinson2890 - WORK HARD at it WITH The Lord , but let Him do the HEAVIEST Lifting .
Seriously .
It SEEMS here , that you were wronged in a way I could never understand , and my heart goes out to you and ALL victims of whatever hurt you had to endure.
Its NOT an easy climb , and your healing can ONLY come as has been described by our leaders , Through the POWER of The Atonement of Jesus Christ and His Grace . Still , YOU , Cindy , are a faithful CHOICE daughter of God , wronged in a way known deeply ONLY to the two of YOU. You are NOT called to ABANDON THAT you were wronged , how or by whom , but ONLY called to offload the BURDEN to your Savior , letting Him take mastery of the situation , guiding how it will play out in the Eternities for ALL involved . Leave THAT to THEM .
Your Bishop has probably ALREADY helped quite allot . That's what he's THERE for .
Draw on that source of guidance and comfort as you seek your true comfort in The Grace of Christ . It all SOUNDS like a "simplified" formula , but its His Formula - one I too have had opportunity to work through , as the victim of my own painful betrayals .
He NEVER wasn't there to HELP , and I will be eternally GRATEFUL that I was able to SUCCESSFULLY unburden my resentment , hurt and anger .
Pray for THEM , DO for you AND them - AS the Spirit Directs , but ONLY as The Spirit directs , one TINY step at a time .
If YOU're already THERE , help others in their challenges , large AND small !
The JOY IS there to FIND and make YOURS !!
