Akira Yamaoka – Cradle Of Forest lyrics
There deep, deep in forest night, children dance the waltz
They laugh, whispering hand in hand, just like children like to do.
Their eyes, what are they looking for? White dress flutters the beat
Their song starting to make some sense, but only if you're listening.

Dance, dance like butterflies, shadows appear right before my eyes.
Sounds echo the absurd, hard to explain something that I heard.

Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds,
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows;
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you...

Again, see how the children play, red moon colours the trees
Their feet, innocent rustling sounds, oh, playful dream-like fantasies.

Dance, dance like butterflies (yeah, yeah), shadows appear right before my eyes
Sounds echo the absurd (yeah), hard to explain something that I heard.

Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds,
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows;
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you.

Now, hear the forest talking insects and birds,
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows;
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you.

Hear the forest talking insects and birds,
Does the scent of soil and beast bring the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows;
When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you.

    There clearly is more in this song than adding atmosphere into the game. The forest and the children who are there trying to be children obviously refers to the Wish House, the orphanage in Silent Hill, where a big part of the game actually takes place. This is where the main antagonist and "center" of the game, Walter Sullivan, grew up.

    There he sees butterflies and birds, that will later be integrated (fusioned into one flying creature) into the nightmare he creates and where the player, as Henry, will get into.
    The hidden animal is Walter Sullivan's character, who several years later will become a serial killer.

    This song is from Silent Hill 4: The Room. This being the case, I don't think the song has any cohesive "story" or one real meaning. It's a combination of haunting vocals and unsettling lyrics meant to add atmosphere to the game. The repeated line "When you think you're really alone, feel the eyes of someone looking in on you", as well as words and phrases like "echo the absurd", "illusion", and "eyes", convey the feeling of isolation and paranoia. These creepy lyrics reinforce what the game is already making you feel.
