Laura Stevenson tells the story behind the song to Songs for Whoever:
”This song came out of a time in the past year when I was full of anxiety about what I was doing, I was getting really caught up in measuring my own achievements up against those of my peers and it was fueling this depressive spe...
[Verse 1]
I'm fucking hideous and spiteful
When I'm left to my devices
I soak my tentacles in ice baths

Because I'm wasting away my life
And gifts on being a jellyfish
[Verse 2]
Same thing I wish for every new year
'Cause I'm lazy and a loser
They don't come true
I'm blaming everyone but myself
[Chorus]
I'll be home indoors, I'll be home indoors
Because I'm wasting away my life
And gifts on being a piece of shit
[Bridge]
Should I go shake out on the sidewalk
Or should I stay inside and shine in artificial light
If I could I would do it so much better off than try
I won't be failing if I don't so
I'll sit with stingers ready
In case somebody comes
To fill my head with petty jealousy
And show me all the things I could be doing
If I were a vertebrate, but it's comfortable
Not wondering at all if I'd have made it
[Chorus]
Should I have stayed at home in doors
I'll be home indoors
Because I'm wasting away my life
And gifts on being a piece of shit
I'm being a piece of shit
You're right I'm a jellyfish
