about

Have you ever dialed a 1-800 Psychic Hotline? Singer Jacque Ryal of synth-pop duo RYAL did on a dare and was kept on the line with the psychic that told her hints and visions of her future.

Like a video game soundtrack RYAL’s “By The Minute” takes their players through dark twists and turns to escape a phone call with a psychic hotline.

lyrics

You were the one to start the fire
Knew all the words to make me stay
Fooling my dime four hundred miles
Can I escape, can escape

Fueling the rage that sat in silence
Learned how the fury earth will quake
Case of innocent turn violent
Many mistakes, many mistakes

Where’s my future
Cross my heart and hope to die
Hold my secrets
To the end of time

Call it accidental
Call it what you want
Charge me (charging) by the minute
Till I get what I want

Call you late tonight
Call late to tonight

Like it when you say it this way
Feel it come from your heart
Like it when you say those things
You like it when I'm falling apart

Like it when you say it this way
Feel it come from your heart
Like it when you say those things
You like it when I'm falling apart

Taking my power with your plot
Algorithm of my thoughts
Reach inside my heart to find
Read my feelings and my mind

Stealing my time with all your lies
Still I am here, looking for signs
Validate I’m on my way
Can I escape, can I escape

Call you late tonight
Call late to tonight
