This actually isn't all of them. "Dream" and "Dreamers" are also based on the "City of Tears" melody, and the True Final Boss's theme is a remix of "Dream."

[@dm4w]

the dream leitmotif isn't quite the same melody, the beggining is similar but they're definitively different. Plus, even if they were, it probably wasn't intentional because those songs have nothing to do with the city of tears.

[@nyxshadowhawk]

@@dm4w Of course it was intentional! Leitmotif doesn't happen by mistake. Have you played Undertale?
Much of Hollow Knight is very cryptic, and just because there isn't an explicit connection between things does not mean that there is no connection at all. Deciphering the lore of Hollow Knight means assuming that nothing is a coincidence.

I like how the gluttonous husk just keeps getting wider
