Acceptance
G.L.O.W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never knew her story other kids thought she's a misfit
Social interaction wasn't something she was gifted
Other girls were envious they thought she was a rich bitch
Acceptance what she needed in her life it aint existed
August 6, 1987 was a school day
Foster mother dropped her off she thought it'd be a cool day
Social cliques she couldn't fit in none she watched the fools play
3 boys approaching in her mind she thinking who are they
Come and smoke with us we got like seven woods rolled up
Never trust a stranger is what foster mother told us
All she wanted was to be accepted and she folded up
Meet up at the school yard after 9 are you showing up
Finished all her work in class tryna meet her new friends
Sick of her environment she followed like a new trend
Told her mom she going for a walk she was oblivious
Absent from society she never had a true friend
Normally her mother would say no it's too late at night
Dealing with the other foster kids who always play and fight
Distracted from reality she didn't know she paid a price
I'm about to tell you three perspectives how to take a life
Halfway to the school yard the third person said to her
The other two in front had said they both just wanted sex from her




Conscience screaming turn around but she ignored the messenger
Laughing all hysterically she ain't know what was next for her

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Acceptance" by G.L.O.W. tell the story of a young girl who struggles to fit in and find acceptance in her life. The song starts by describing how she was seen as a misfit by other kids and was not socially adept. Despite being envied by other girls for her perceived wealth, she longed for acceptance, which seemed elusive.


The narrative then shifts to a specific day, August 6, 1987, when the girl's foster mother drops her off at school. She observes the different social cliques but feels like an outsider. Three boys approach her, and although she is curious about them, she remembers her foster mother's warning about not trusting strangers. However, her desperation for acceptance makes her disregard the caution.


Eager to make new friends and break away from her current environment, the girl agrees to meet the boys later that night. She finishes her schoolwork with hopes of fitting in and feeling a sense of belonging. Oblivious to the danger lurking ahead, she tells her mother that she is going for a walk, seeking an escape from her isolated existence. It is evident that she has never experienced true friendship, making her vulnerable.


As she ventures toward the school yard, the third person in the group warns her about the intentions of the other two boys, revealing their ulterior motives of seeking sexual encounters. Despite her conscience urging her to turn back and avoid the situation, she ignores the inner voice and laughs along with the others, unaware of the imminent consequences.


In these lyrics, G.L.O.W. portrays the yearning for acceptance that many people experience, especially during their formative years. The singer's longing for connection and her willingness to disregard warning signs highlights the vulnerability that can arise from societal pressures and the desperate desire to fit in. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being cautious, listening to one's intuition, and seeking genuine connections instead of compromising oneself for temporary acceptance.
