The title track delves into powers of vampiric hypnotism, as Jepsen invites the listener to 'be tormented by me.' Further lyrics deal with the persistence of evil ('Black Heart') and Jepsen’s struggle to live amongst mortal humans ('Boy Problems'). Later songs confirm this impression, as Jepsen paints herself as a ' SINNER IN SECRET' who will 'run to your side when your HEART IS BLEEDING' and cannot 'lay down to die' because she does not age. Like all vampires, she is ultimately in thrall to the forces of evil, and 'can’t control' her hunger for blood. Warm blood, feels good, I can’t control it anymore.Īfter attempting to stifle her UNHOLY THIRST FOR THE BLOOD OF THE LIVING, Jepsen has succumbed to her demonic nature and devoured another helpless mortal soul. The clearest indication of Jepsen’s occult nature comes on the song 'Warm Blood.' The song leads off: 'I’ve got a cavern of secrets, none of them are for you.' But as the lyric proceeds, we realize that Jepsen plans to reveal these secrets in the chorus: I cannot control it Here's my number (I am a vampire spirit, aligned with satanic forces), so call me maybe (summon me, Mabus). Hints of Jepsen's TRUE NATURE date all the way back to 'Call Me Maybe.' Revelations scholar William Tapley first explained the link in his seminal 2012 video ' The Apocalypse Arrives Gangnam Style!' According to Tapley, the INESCAPABLE COUPLET 'here's my number / so call me maybe' in fact refers to the antichrist figure Mabus (first predicted by Nostradamus in the year 1555), identifying himself (herself?) by invoking 666, the number of the beast.īut while Tapley takes this to mean Jepsen is herself Mabus, it can also be read as a REQUEST TO BE SUMMONED INTO THE MORTAL REALM. (Style note: I have used full capitalization for emphasis below, as befits the urgency of the subject matter.) Below, I will detail these forces as E*MO*TION describes them, painting an unsettling portrait of the undead souls that live among us. But while the album purports to be a collection of exuberant yet thoughtful synth pop tunes, it's actually something much more revealing: Jepsen is giving us an unprecedented exploration into the occult forces that have given her both pop stardom and eternal life at the cost of her immortal soul. This week, Carly Rae Jepsen released her third studio album, E*MO*TION, to critical acclaim and widespread popular interest.
