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.
Indiscreet Jewels
Pain Teens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of my pleasure and fantasy, give you a show
An invisible frenzy or machines of desire
Do you want to hear more of my perpetual fire?
The jewels will speak in the silence of night
They will tell you my secrets of forbidden delight
>From their indiscretion you'll at last understand
Each new sensation that your body demands.
What's within reach one moment may soon disappear
When you touch the eternal, nothing's ever the same--
The indiscreet jewels are whispering your name.
The Pain Teens' song "Indiscreet Jewels" is an evocative and sensual piece that speaks to the power of desire and the allure of the unknown. The lyrics are suggestive and filled with hidden meanings, urging the listener to explore the darker corners of their own fantasies and desires. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer whispers a promise to reveal their innermost secrets and pleasures to the listener. The idea of an "invisible frenzy" or "machines of desire" further emphasizes the idea that these desires are often hidden, buried deep within the psyche.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become even more provocative, speaking of forbidden delights and forbidden sensations that the listener may come to understand through the jewels' indiscretion. This idea of hidden knowledge and secret desires is a recurring theme throughout the song, with the singer suggesting that only by embracing these darker urges can one truly find fulfillment.
The final lines of the song speak to the ephemeral nature of desire and the ever-changing nature of the world around us. The idea that what is within reach one moment may soon disappear is echoed in the repeated use of the phrase "nothing's ever the same." The indiscreet jewels are a symbol of that fleeting sense of longing and desire, whispering the listener's name and urging them to take action before time runs out.
