- Nonfiction LyricsI don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to
See you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son,
Not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And I like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet
[Chorus:]
The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry
I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love yo like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
[Chorus]
But you kiss good and I'd like to
See you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son,
Not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And I like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
[Chorus:]
The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry
I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love yo like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
[Chorus]

✔️
When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, the Black Crowes' song 'Nonfiction' is about a complicated relationship where the male singer shows admiration but at the same time, realizes that boundaries and separateness are needed. The metaphors of dressing up like the jury and then eating like a king symbolize the playing of roles and the taking of pleasures in life, and the mentioning of the north star is like a symbol of guidance and stability during the emotionally confusing times. The lyrics of Nonfiction focus mainly on the feelings of angst, heartbreak, despair, reflection and love. Besides that, the song repeatedly brings out love and relationships, struggle and despair, identity and self-reflection as the main points. The lyrics not only portray death and emotional pain but also make use of some strong language and even mature imagery which, thus, makes them inappropriate for children below 13. The lyrics alluding to wishing someone dead and the next room being full of crying are indicative of a rather dark emotional scenario that could justify a PG-13 rating.
