Cover art for Waiting For You lyrics by Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn

Akira Yamaoka himself said the song was written about James and Maria's relationship in Silent Hill 2. Just because it's on the soundtrack doesn't mean it's about those characters.

Are you sure about that? Some of the lyrics do sound like James and Maria, but the lyrics: "Mom's gone to Heaven now. Why won't she come back down? Does she have someone she loves more than me?"

and:

"There's nothing left within my lonely room without you"

Sound much more like Walter to me. Who knows, maybe it's about all of them.
