Ode to Scabies

“Ode to Scabies” is a darkly humorous and haunting American roots-inspired track that celebrates one of humanity’s tiniest tormentors. With echoes of bluegrass, country, and Southern folk, this song anthropomorphizes the scabies mite—a minuscule architect of relentless irritation—turning its microscopic mischief into poetic storytelling. From orphanages to crowded dormitories, the relentless itch becomes an anthem of human vulnerability, delivered with rustic melodies and biting lyrical wit.
