Inflatable
The Bush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I believe in you my soul can rest
But as love that's really love can never fail
But fail it does
When we shine like the sun
You seem the only one my only friend
You're so pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
I resigned from myself
Took a break as someone else
It's like we've come undone
But I've only just become inflatable for you
You're so pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
I don't mind most of the time
But you push me so far inside
You're so pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
When you're faithful
The Bush's song Inflatable is a deep and reflective song about a difficult relationship. It starts with the line "Let it slide overhead," suggesting that the singer wants to let go and not be weighed down by negative feelings or situations. But the next line, "When I believe in you my soul can rest," implies that the relationship is not one that comes easily. The singer needs to have faith in the other person in order to find peace.
The line "But as love that's really love can never fail, but fail it does" is a poignant observation on the nature of love. Despite our best efforts and intentions, love can sometimes still fail us, leaving us hurt and confused. The next lines "When we shine like the sun, you seem the only one, my only friend" indicates the singer's strong feelings for the other person, despite the difficulties they face.
The repeated refrain of "You're so pretty in white pretty when you're faithful" serves as a reminder of the beauty and purity of the relationship when things are going well. However, the line "I don't mind most of the time, but you push me so far inside" suggests that things are not always good between the two. The final line "When you're faithful" leaves the listener wondering if the other person has been unfaithful and whether this is the cause of the singer's pain.
Overall, Inflatable is a powerful song that captures the complexity of love and relationships, and the pain that can come from them.

Gavin’s voice just does something to my soul! Seeing them live in the 90s was one of my favorite memories and I’m so happy he’s still around making good music.
