Pennan Brae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I head on down the road
Air's gettin' plenty dusty
Tires kickin' gravel stones
You better stop stop
Think before you come round again
You better knock knock
You can file an appeal but there's simply nothing to contend
Feelin' kinda groggy
As I take this hairpin turn
Sky's gettin' plenty foggy
Leveraging the sun's slow burn
You better stop stop
Things are not yet on the mend
You better knock knock
Think bout what you did again
Some personal reflection's solely what I recommend
Not gonna break
Ain't gonna run
From my mistakes
I'm gonna give
Ain't gonna take
I want it real
Don't want no fakes
No
Weary and lambasted
Unfolding down this straightaway
Warning signs are pasted
I should pit and end my day
You better stop stop
Think of what it could portend
You better knock knock
Contemplate it once again
Your credit line is drawn it's impossible to extend
Not gonna break
Ain't gonna run
From my mistakes
I'm gonna give
Ain't gonna take
I want it real
Don't want no fakes
No

The air is dusty and the tires are kicking up gravel, suggesting a feeling of roughness and instability. The lyrics repeat the phrases "you better stop" and "you better knock knock," implying that the person should take a moment to reflect on their actions and consider finding a new path. The final stanza mentions warning signs and the need to contemplate once again, suggesting that the person may be facing consequences for their actions.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of authenticity and honesty. The repeated refrain "I want it real, don't want no fakes" emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and not putting on a false front. The lyrics suggest that the person has made mistakes, but they refuse to break, run away, or take from others. Instead, they want to give, and they want to strive for what is genuine and true.
Interestingly, the song has a classic rock feel and incorporates elements of blues and Americana. It was produced by Grammy-winning producer, Tom Werman, and the music video was directed by award-winning filmmaker, Brad Wong.

Feelin' kinda rusty
I feel worn out and not at my best
As I head on down the road
As I continue on my journey
Air's gettin' plenty dusty
The air around me is full of dust
Tires kickin' gravel stones
My tires are kicking up gravel as I drive
You better stop stop
You need to pause and reflect
Think before you come round again
Consider the consequences of your actions
You better knock knock
You need to take responsibility for what you have done
Find yourself a brand new friend
You need to start fresh in your relationships
You can file an appeal but there's simply nothing to contend
You can try to appeal, but there is no defense for your actions
Feelin' kinda groggy
I feel drowsy and not quite awake
As I take this hairpin turn
As I navigate through this steep and winding turn
Sky's gettin' plenty foggy
The sky above me is becoming very foggy
Leveraging the sun's slow burn
Taking advantage of the gradual disappearance of the sun's rays
Things are not yet on the mend
Things are not yet improving
Think bout what you did again
Reflect on your actions and reconsider
Some personal reflection's solely what I recommend
I suggest taking time to reflect on your own behavior
Not gonna break
I will not give up
Ain't gonna run
I will not flee
From my mistakes
I will learn from my errors
I'm gonna give
I will put forth effort
Ain't gonna take
I will not accept what is not genuine
I want it real
I desire authenticity
Don't want no fakes
I don't want anything that is not genuine
Weary and lambasted
I am tired and beaten down
Unfolding down this straightaway
Continuing down this straight path
Warning signs are pasted
Indications of problems have been posted
I should pit and end my day
I should stop and end my journey
Think of what it could portend
Consider the possible outcomes
Contemplate it once again
Think about it again
Your credit line is drawn it's impossible to extend
You have exhausted your options and cannot go further
