Room of Angel, is the theme song of the horror survival game Silent Hill 4: Chamber of Secrets. The song was composed by Akira Yamoka, written by Joe Romersa and Owaku Hiroyuki ōwaku, and sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. In addition to the Room of Angel, Silent Hill 4: The Chamber of Secrets also has three first-time theme songs: Cradle of Forest, Tender Sugar and You Rain.
this song appears three times in the game. The first time is in the opening CG animation (automatically played when you first enter the game, or played after waiting for a period of time in the title screen). The opening animation is based on the pure music version of Room of Angel. The second appearance was in the CG animation that appeared after the player finished the prologue "Joseph's nightmare", which was also a pure music version. The scene of the CG is the protagonist's room, and a list of some major producers appears.
The third time it was played when Cynthia Velasquez died in the ticket office of Nanhuiyuan subway station. Cynthia is the first character that Henry Townshend, the protagonist of the game, meets. She is the 16th victim in the 21st sacrament, and she is code-named "Seduction". The cause of death was stabbed to death by a sharp weapon, and the number "16/21" was engraved on his chest. This version is an incomplete version sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. This scene is the most satisfying scene for the producer of Silent Hill 4: The Chamber of Secrets.
The whole song is full of deep sadness, melancholy and dark atmosphere. Someone on the Internet mistook this song for "Confessions Me" and mistakenly listed it as a forbidden song.
This song expresses the complex feelings of a child (who has grown up) abandoned by his mother when facing his dead mother. On the one hand, he hates his mother for always ignoring, rejecting and abandoning him; On the other hand, he deeply loved his mother. Even though she never loved him, he presented her with the last lullaby to send her away. But at the same time, he won't cry for her.
associated with the game, it can be thought that this is the role song of Walter Sullivan, the villain in the game.
you lie silent there before me
your tears they mean nothing to me
the wind how to live in the window
the love you never give
I give to you
you lie quietly in front of me.
your tears mean nothing to me.
the wind roared at the window.
You never gave me love,
I gave it to you.
really don't abandon it
but now there's nothing you can do
so sleep in your only memory of me (say and weep)
My dear mother
really doesn't deserve it,
but you can't refuse it now.
Just go to sleep in the only memory you have about me,
My dearest mother.
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well (say oh my)
Here's a L. Ulla by to close your eyes good-bye
goodbye
goodbye
here is a lullaby for your eyes. Farewell.
you are the very person I have been ignoring.
come on, I'm not sad enough to cry for you.
farewell to you with this lullaby.
farewell.
farewell.
So insignificant
sleeping dormant deep inside of me
are you hiding away lost
under the sewers
maybe flying high in the clouds
perhaps you' re happy without me
so many seeds have been sown in the field
and who could sprout up so blessedly
if I had died
I would have never felt sad at All
You will not hear me say I'm sorry
Where is the light
Wonder if it's sleeping somewhere
So insignificant,
Sleeping in the deepest part of my soul?
or did you hide it?
lost in the ditch?
or flying high in the clouds?
maybe you live a happier life without me.
So many seeds are sown in the fields,
If I die, who will thrive under your blessing?
I will never feel a trace of sadness.
You won't hear me say sorry.
where is the light?
I wonder if it cries quietly?
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
