The Maze Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been sittin' thinking
Every little thing won't go my way
I don't really care though
Cause I'm getting drunker every day
Sitting at the breaks now,
And everybody knows just what I hide
I don't really care though
It gives me ammunition to ignite

This fire
I know I'm coming down
Let's behold, you're here
If you're gonna breakdown...

Going to work on weekdays
Friday is a flower when it blooms
I don't really care though
Saturday morning just clears the room
Sittin' in a hotel
It's cold outside and I'm on my own
I don't really care though
With a little luck there'll be some snow.

This fire
I know I'm coming down
Let's behold, you're here
If you're gonna breakdown...

Get up and Watch yourself

Get up and Watch yourself, and wash yourself

Get up and Watch yourself.

Get up and Watch yourself

Get up and Watch yourself, and wash yourself

Get up and Watch yourself.

Get up and Watch yourself

Get up and Watch yourself, and wash yourself

Get up and Watch yourself.

And ignite this fire, I know
I'm coming down
Let's behold you're here
If you're gonna breakdown...

If you're gonna, breakdown...

If you're gonna break, down...

Overall Meaning

The Maze's song "Breakdown" is a reflection on the struggles and challenges of life, and how alcohol can often serve as a coping mechanism to help one through these difficulties. The singer of the song is resigned to the fact that not everything will go his way, but he finds solace in getting drunk every day. He sits at the breaks, where everyone knows what he hides, but this knowledge also provides him ammunition for his inner fire. He is aware that he is coming down, but he is hopeful because someone is with him, and if he's going to break down, he knows he's not alone.

The second verse further delves into the singer's use of alcohol as a coping mechanism, with Friday representing a flower that blooms, but also the end of the week and an opportunity to drink. Saturday morning then clears the room, indicating the hangover that often comes the morning after heavy drinking. When the singer finds himself alone in a cold hotel, he again turns to alcohol for comfort, hoping that luck will bring some snow. The repeated refrain of "Get up and Watch yourself" may be interpreted as both a command to take control of one's actions and to observe them, a reminder to live with intention rather than simply going through the motions.

There are major differences between the books and the movies which fix most of the continuity errors in the movie.

In the first book, instead of showing Thomas the maze, Minho shows Thomas a ton of maps of the maze since it changes daily; re-using formats once a month. Thomas notices this and overlays the maps using grease paper in order to discover the route to escape.

He also doesn’t kill the griever using the changing maze, instead he throws it off a cliff he found while running. That cliff is actually the exit, but it’s hidden with holograms. He finds the hole in the middle by throwing vines into the hologram until they latch onto the hole in the middle, which tells him where the exit is.

Grievers can also be killed simply by turning them off with a switch that is found inside their gelatinous body.

The grievers also didn’t spread the flare, they spread a neurotoxin which disabled a memory inhibitor in their brains left by wicked. The same chip also allowed Thomas and Theresa to have a sort of telepathy between them.

The last movie was pretty much completely different from the books too; in the books they had these neat teleporters which would basically disassemble your molecules, then reassemble them elsewhere. Of course, someone turned this into a gun and managed to disassemble people’s molecules without telling anything to reassemble them, so it would just turn them to dust.

Which added a little bit of threat to the whole scenario. All the immunes escaped the facility through a teleporter and ended up on the island, btw. Not through the quad copter thingo

A lot of the backstory described comes from the fourth book "The Kill Order" and possibly the fifth "The Fever Code" although I haven't had the opportunity to read that one. The first Maze Runner movie was actually a pretty good adaptation in my opinion all things considered however when the second movie released it was like they dragged in the screen writers from the Percy Jackson movie adaptations and had them write a fan-fiction inspired by the books. Almost right away many of the major plot points got thrown out the window and while there were a lot of loose references to scenes taking place in the books they strayed way too far from the original stories. Ultimately a disappointing end to a promising franchise.

In the prequel book, The Kill Order, it shows that the virus mutates incredibly fast. It was supposed to kill people quickly and painlessly but within a couple hours of people becoming infected (they were actually darted with the virus from helicopters) the virus had begun to change causing the infected to lose their minds and begin to cause harm to themselves (tearing out their own eyeballs etc).

Its honestly a great book and pretty scary. How quickly the people in it lose their grasp on their own sanity is the stuff of nightmares.

Immune kids weren't born 15 years after the flare virus started. Kill Order shows Theresa was already born. She was a young kid at that time. I think I remember WICKED coming for Thomas at the very end of that book too. Mary didn't know the cure was Thomas' blood. She thought his blood would be like all the other immunes and freeze the effects of the virus for a couple of months. Newt, in the book, wasn't immune at any time. He was one of the "control" group. Basically WICKED wanted to see if him being around all those immunes would help him build an immunity. There is nothing in the book that suggests that the immune kids will ever loss that immunity.

28:36 I had vertigo once in my life so far and it occurred during the summer of 2016. I honestly don't know what caused it. All I know is that I went to bed fine, and the next day it started immediately from the time I woke up in the morning to the time I went to sleep at night and was gone the next morning. It was a debilitating uncomfortable experience being that disoriented for an entire day for over 12+ hours. I was pretty much confined to laying on the couch in my living room. No matter what position I was in, there was a terrible falling / rolling feeling. Only 1 specific angle being absolutely still provided some relief. Not being able to visually focus and see straight was highly frustrating as my eyes involuntarily rapidly repeatedly scanned from left to right. Every time I tried walk, it felt like this heavy pull of gravity, tipping like a boat on the ocean, causing me to lean into and hang onto walls and doorframes for support, bracing myself. What also sucked was that closing my eyes and trying to nap in the hopes of alleviating symptoms neither worked to reduce my discomfort nor was it even possible to actually rest, causing increased irritability along with more stress and mental fatigue, making me feel even worse. I hope I never experience that misery ever again.

I love and hate how different the story gets after the first book. What I didn't like about it was how they made the infected literal zombie sin the movies, but in the book they made them very slowly go insane throughout different phases, and by a certain phase their brains turn to goop and they become mindless flesh thirsty people that can creepily still talk. (I read all three and watched the first 2). Also, the story of W.I.C.K.E.D. and their motives are SOOOO much different than the books. FOr example, the entirety of the scorch trials were actually well, trials made by them in the books, while in the movies it's just an lazy fugitive cliché along with some zombies.
TLDR: In the books the virus drives you insane and makes you blood thirsty, while in the movies it's a zombie hoard virus. Also W.I.C.K.E.D. is much much different.

Two things about this series

Firstly they'd have saved themselves a lot of trouble by just wiping out that 30% with death squads viruses are a shortcut and shortcuts backfire.

Secondly Teresa got what she deserved although I would prefer she suffered a lot more maybe tortured a bit.

Is it in the books too? Hollywood always have the characters being stupid like that to fuel the plot, cause drama because they have no imagination.
Notice that Hollywood also always change the story, not just practical stuff like length but just for the sake of changing the story.

during the recap, don't forget the fact that in the process, surface temperatures in the US were actually sent high enough to literally boil water, as well as causing a tsunami to game end new york, leading to one group fleeing under the city via the subway network, and they learn in the process that the surface temperature has made the water hot enough that if you fall in, you get literally boiled alive.

Hey, I'm here as someone who read the books, but translated from English at the time. In the 1st book, when Thomas finds "WCKD" on the walls of the maze, it stands for World Catastrophe Kill Department and it is pronounced as Wicked. In the translation however, using the abrivation of our word for wicked, it gives much more of a hint towards what the organisation does actually. It reads as such: Absolute Destruction - Analisys from Within. The AD referrs to the virus outbreak, whilst analysing from within translates to the maze training, as the scientists monitored what happened to the ones the Crawlers infected, more exactly what happened from within their brains .
