From this second album they released two singles, The Best Little Secrets Are Kept which entered the US Singles chart, and God Killed The Queen which entered the UK Singles chart. In September of 2007 the band released a second EP entitled The Distances From Everyone To You and in January of 2008 released their third album Slick Dogs And Ponies from which they have released the single Air Traffic Control which entered into the US Singles chart.
The band's lyrics have resulted in them causing much controversy and subsequently they have been banned from playing live gigs in the state of Alabama. Their lyrics are filled with double meanings and sexual connotations, and are often condescending towards women.
The band split in 2010.
All the Little Pieces
Louis XIV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the little pieces of your heart
I look at all the children
Whose hearts are strong
Running down the streets like nothings wrong
I look at all the frineds I knew
Now some have changed
Some I know will always be the same
Nobody knows, Nobody knows
That all the little pieces come apart
All the little pieces of your heart
All the little pieces come apart
All the little pieces of your heart
If you happen to look away from the people
And you feel the prick from pins and the needles
All which have been stuck into your arms
And all of your cries have been false alarms
And you can't pick up the pieces
No, you can't pick up the pieces
I look at all the children whose hearts are strong
Running down the streets like nothings wrong
I look at all the friends I've known
Some have changed
Some will always stay same
Nobody know that all the little pieces
All the little pieces
All the little pieces come apart
All the little pieces of your heart
All the little pieces
All the little pieces
All the little pieces come apart
All the little pieces of your heart
The song "All The Little Pieces" by Louis XIV is a melancholic ballad that speaks of a sense of disillusionment that often comes with growing up. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where everything appears to be going wrong, and the only thing that remains in the face of chaos is the little pieces of one's heart. The song is a lament for a world that is slowly falling apart, and the heartbreaking realization that even the "strong-hearted" children cannot change the fate of a world determined to crumble.
The song begins with the words, "All the little pieces come apart, all the little pieces of your heart," which appear to speak of a sense of disillusionment and fragmentation that many young people experience as they grow older. The image of "all the children whose hearts are strong, running down the streets like nothings wrong" seems to be a nod to the innocence of youth, and the ways in which that innocence is often lost as one grows older. The idea that "some have changed, some will always be the same" is a poignant reminder of the transience of life and the inevitability of change.
The second verse of the song expands on this theme, suggesting that when one looks away from the world, one can feel the "prick of pins and needles" that have been stuck into their arms. The idea that one's own cries have been "false alarms" seems to suggest a sense of despair and hopelessness, as if the world has become so filled with chaos that one's own pain no longer matters. In the end, the song seems to call for a return to simplicity and innocence, a plea for the world to come back together again, and for those who have lost sight of what's important to find their way back to the things that really matter.

I saw hope in your video, those pictures have got to be just a tiny, tiny fraction of not just the horror, but also the demonstrated humanity- a humanity we all share. We're moved by the combination of such beautiful music and loving human expression in the midst of extreme trauma, because we fundamentally care.
highvibration
Could very well be. Next time I see Jason or Brian I will ask. I work with Marines and this was my interpretation.
highvibration
Yes..it does seem reasonable to hope. We are touched by the kindness of others every day; in them the flame of hope burns...Peace to you my Aussie friend.
