Their music has been described as "blurring the distinction between rock, classical, electronic and experimental" and as "strikingly modern yet simultaneously timeless."

Spiral
These New Puritans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want to get it right
Cause I've got nothing that I want to say
Cause I've got meteors falling to Earth
This is your guided tour
Exocets towards Stanley
Watch the fireworks from the beach
This is your guided tour
The lyrics of the song Spiral by These New Puritans seem to convey a sense of urgency and an underlying desire to seek enlightenment. The opening lines "You want to seek the light, you want to get it right" suggest that the singer is on a journey towards self-discovery and is keen to find the answers that will help them do so. However, it seems that they are at a loss for words and cannot express their ideas, as evidenced by "Cause I've got nothing that I want to say".
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer has a unique perspective on life that is symbolized by the metaphor of "meteors falling to Earth". This can be interpreted in various ways; it could represent the singer's thoughts and ideas that are crashing down like meteors, or it could be a metaphor for something else entirely. The repeated lines "This is your guided tour" suggest that the singer is guiding the listener on this journey towards enlightenment, and the final line "Exocets towards Stanley" perhaps refers to a mission or goal that the singer is trying to achieve. The song ends with the eerie repetition of "This is your guided tour", leaving the listener with a sense of uncertainty and contemplation.

You want to get it right
You want to do things correctly and succeed
Cause I've got nothing that I want to say
I have nothing to express, nothing to communicate
Cause I've got meteors falling to Earth

This is your guided tour
I am leading you and showing you the way
Exocets towards Stanley
The military missiles are heading towards a location named Stanley
Watch the fireworks from the beach
Observe the beautiful display of pyrotechnics by the ocean
I've got meteors falling to Earth
I am still dealing with major explosive events
