You're Not Here

You're Not Here is the opening theme of Silent Hill 3 and is track 2 in the game's soundtrack. The song is sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (under the pseudonym "Melissa Williamson") with accompanying guitar by Akira Yamaoka. In the game, it plays in the introduction video when the start screen is idle.

The song was featured in the Silent Hill film's ending credits and was also re-featured in the Silent Hill HD Collection as both an intro video and a selection menu theme (while "Theme of Laura" played for Silent Hill 2).

Lyrics


'' Blue sky to forever The green grass blows in the wind, dancing It would be a much better sight with you with me

If you hadn't met me I'd be fine on my own, baby I never felt so lonely then you came along

So now what should I do? I'm strung out, addicted to you My body aches, now that you're gone My supply fell through

You gladly gave me everything you had and more You craved my happiness When you made me feel joy it made you smile But now I feel your stress

Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no And who has time for tears? I never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love, 'til now

Uh!

Oh, I feel your stress

Oh, who has time for tears? Oh, my baby

Yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh, I feel your stress ''

Trivia

 * A variant of the song with less vocals appears in a trailer.
 * "You're Not Here" could be a reference to Harry Mason or Harry's thoughts after his wife's death before the events of Silent Hill. It could also be Heather Mason's thoughts on her father's death.
 * Another video separate from the introduction sequence featured the song with Heather lip-syncing the lyrics. This video was included in the PS2 port of DDR Extreme.
 * The Russian doom metal band Tears of Mankind covered the song and featured it on their 2008 album Silent Veil of My Doom.
