The Songs of Volume 1: Death, Dawn & Other Inconveniences
The Songs of San Mágos
The soundtrack to Momo & Yeti threads through the prose like a second voice. Songs surface at funerals, in mirrors, in the hum of a haunted café and the back of a teenager’s mind. Here is every song that appears in Volume 1, in the order it first rises off the page, with where to find it and what it might mean.
The Story Ahead (A Spoiler Alert)
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
This is the carnival barker’s overture, a mischievous contract between book and reader. It promises monsters, masks, borrowed light and a tale where “nobody dies,” then dares you to work out which of those promises is a lie.
Ashes To Ashes
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
A funeral song that refuses to mourn in the ordinary way. Built on golden threads, thinning veils and stars igniting, it reframes Orion’s death as a change of state rather than an ending. The imagery of a “golden thread that never dies” sets up one of the volume’s quiet engines: the dead in San Mágos don’t simply leave.
People Are Strange
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1). A reworked cover of the Doors song
A cover of the classic Doors song, this is stripped back and intimate, this is the sound of being looked at and not seen. In a city where monsters share a footpath with humans who still flinch, “no one remembers your name” lands as both lament and plea.
Prism Girl
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
A song about a face you almost recognise. The prism is the perfect image for a girl meeting a version of herself she can’t quite trust, and the line about edges that burn does double duty here. Venus and Sunshine are two reflections of the same loss, similar in shape, different in geometry.
Dream A Little Dream
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
A lullaby with teeth. The song sits on the knife-edge between hope and delusion, where dreaming is necessary and never quite safe. Played under two seasoned, dangerous parents dancing in their kitchen, it reads less as comfort and more as resolve.
A Door Inside A Door
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
Death reimagined as a threshold rather than a wall. The song’s central image, comparing what comes after to the womb, a place you cannot picture until you cross it, lets it sit with grief without surrendering to it. Delivered as Orion teasing Venus from somewhere just out of reach, it makes the metaphysics personal.
Welcome to MTHRNTR
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
The thematic home of the whole series, rendered as an almost cosy pop number with something humming underneath. MTHRNTR is sanctuary, crossroads and pressure point at once, a place where monsters exist without having to explain themselves and where “time and space fold.”
Nothing True, Nothing False
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1) The title track
The volume’s philosophical spine. The song interrogates truth itself, how belief, power and perspective decide what counts as real, and how “winners write the final script.” Its refrain that truth depends on who you meet is dangerous and democratic at once.
X, C, V, DEL (Cut Copy Paste Delete)
Album: Nothing True, Nothing False (Album 1)
A song about editing yourself down to fit. The editing commands of the title work on two levels at once, digital manipulation and emotional violence, the trimming of a self until only a frame remains. It reaches past the misquoted “blood is thicker than water” to ask what we owe inherited loyalty and family expectation when those things demand we shrink.
