PAIN TEENS is distinguished from other rock groups mainly by Scott Ayer's guitar playing- a unique sound that combined swamplike psychedelia and twisted, effects-laden sounds. Bliss Blood's disturbing lyrics and icy delivery helped the PAIN TEENS sound like no other band on earth.
Beginning in 1987, PAIN TEENS released nine out-of-print cassette tapes and two LPs on their own Anomie Records label. Soon after, they released four LPs for Trance Records, an Austin, Texas label run by King Coffee of the band Butthole Surfers.
The live version of the band went through several lineups, including Steve Cook on bass, Ralf Armin on guitar, David Parker and Bart Enoch on drums in 1988, followed by Kirk Carr on bass and Frank Garymartin on drums. They ceased performing live in 1993, after touring with the Boredoms, Fudge Tunnel, Brutal Truth & Season to Risk in that year.
Bliss Blood moved to New York City in 1995 after the release of their sixth full length release, "Beast of Dreams", and formed The Moonlighters with Henry Bogdan from Helmet; Delta Dreambox, a 1920's style blues band; Voodoo Suite, a 1950's exotica lounge jazz group, the "crime jazz"-style Nightcall with Stu Spasm from Lubricated Goat, and many other projects. She currently lives in Brooklyn.
Scott Ayers and Frank Garymartin continued playing together in their new band Walking Timebombs, releasing several cds, Culturcide, Truth Decay, and Anarchitex. In 2009 Scott Ayers began performing solo under the name GelTab, which has been described as "ambient/country", and later started the band Dead Links, which has a heavy progressive rock sound and one album release so far. Other projects include the Electric Knives (psych/punk/noise) and Dead Cowboys (country/folk/blues/americana)
Kirk Carr died of cancer in May 2008.
Daughter of Chaos
Pain Teens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my endless night, in my devil's horns
I was born in a firestorm, blood running down the walls
The sirens screamed my name, the distant explosions called
Daughter of Chaos, Mother of Dread,
Mistress of the Flies, Queen of the Dead
Caught with another man, don't cry no tears over me
My blood runs cold for a week every month,
Sexual maturity and superhuman strength
Just one good squeeze, baby, and I'll take you to the brink
Daughter of Chaos, Mother of Dread
Mistress of the Flies, Queen of the Dead
Caught with another man, I don't even turn my head
You had it, you lost it, if you don't shut up you'll be dead
A savage god swims in my night, bull's neck snapped
In an attitude of delight
In my field of blood, in my gown of thorns,
In my endless night, in my devil's horns
Daughter of Chaos, Mother of Dread
Mistress of the Flies, Queen of the Dead

The lyrics continue to describe the woman as "Daughter of Chaos, Mother of Dread, Mistress of the Flies, Queen of the Dead," portraying her as a destructive force that commands respect and fear.
There are suggestions of violence and sexuality in the lyrics, with references to blood and sexual maturity as well as a warning for a man not to cross her. The last verse seems to suggest that the woman is associated with a savage god, adding to her power and mystique. Overall, the lyrics of the song present a vivid and unsettling picture of a powerful and dangerous female figure.
