"Beyond The Breakdown" by Underdog Crew Studios
🔥 Beyond the Breakdown is a podcast that dives beneath the surface of neurodiversity - beyond the labels, beyond the assumptions and beyond the silence. This is where we unpack the real stories.
Lived experiences from people who navigate it every day. Who carry the scars, are still fighting and those finding strength in the struggle to be heard and understood.
We explore what it truly means to be neurodivergent in a world that doesn’t always understand - breaking stigma, challenging misconceptions and presenting the honest conversations that matter.
No filters. No pretending. Just real voices, real journeys, and real connection. No masks. No filters. Just real voices.
Hosted by multi award winning Underdog Crew Studios (The Underdog Crew CIC). Where misunderstood youth find their voice, their tribe, and their power through the creative arts. www.underdogcrew.org

LYRICS:
“Bow to the matriarch” by DB & TUC
Bow to the matriarch
Verse 1
I wore your name
Like a flame on skin Bled through the night Still I let you in
Hips like a battlefield Back like a prayer Each crack in my body Says I was there
Pre-Chorus
Dard mera Mera taj
Tu dekh zara Yeh aag ka raaj Aah, aah
Main hi roshni Aah, aah
Main hi zindagi
Chorus
Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Scars on my skin Like gold in the dark Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch I broke, I built
I gave you my heart
Verse 2
Stretch marks on my belly Like river lines
Stretch marks on my belly Like river lines
Old pain in my knees Still I rise in time Milk on my shirt
And blood on the floor I made a whole world Then begged for more
Pre-Chorus
Dard mera Mera taj
Tu dekh zara Yeh aag ka raaj Aah, aah
Sun meri pukaar Aah, aah
Main hoon talwar
Chorus
Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Scars on my skin Like gold in the dark Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch I broke, I built
I gave you my heart
Bridge
(Wailing vocal breakdown)
Haa-haa-hey
O maa, o maa Kya samjhega Yeh shehanshah
Jism mera टूटा
Phir bhi khada Meri chot mein Mera khuda
Breakdown
Listen
Look at me
Every cut
Is a victory
Haan!
Haan!
Every cut
Is a victory
Haan!
Haan!
No shame in the hands That held the world No shame in the bones That carried your birth
Final Chorus
Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Scars on my skin Like gold in the dark Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch I broke, I built
I gave you my heart Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Blood into beauty That’s what we are Bow to the matriarch Bow to the matriarch Power of the mother Shines like a star

Bow to the bow to the bow to the Metri I wore your name like a flame on skin, bled through the night still I let you in. Hits like a battlefield, back like a preach, crack in my body says I was there. Bow to the Metrich. Bow to the Metriarch. Scars on my skin like gold in the day. Bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the bow to the Metriarch. I broke I build, I gave you my heart. Stretch marks on my belly like river lions. Pain in my knees, still arise in time. Milk on my shirt and blood on the floor. I made a whole world and beg for more. There's the mela. Sumeri Bukar Mehutal Baba Bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the cars on my skin like gold. I'm broke out of my heart. Listen, listen, look at me. Every cut is a victory. Every cut is a victory. No shame in the hands that held the world. No shame in the bones that can't reach a bird. Bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the bars on my skin like gold in a dog Bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the broke, I built, I gave you my heart. Bow to the Metriarch. Bow to the Matriarch. Blood into beauty, that's what we are. Bow to the Matriarchs. Bow to the Matriots. Power of the Mother Shines like a star.
