Flashlight room
Seems that we haven't picked apart every layer of Silent Hill yet. I love finding these kind of things, it shows how well thought out the game was.
In the Woodside Apartment, in the room where you get the flashlight from the Mary model, check out the wallpaper.

I looked at that and thought to myself, "That can't be coincidental." A look around the apartment complex shows me that there's no other wall paper like it.
So I figured it's got to have some significance, and I wracked my brain for a pair of birds that mate (as in go in pairs, not sex) closely like that, and would be common knowledge.
And here we go: lovebirds.

I just thought it was a cute little find. It's also interesting how much Silent Hill takes from the person and reflects it into the surroundings.

They could also be doves. Doves mate for life and symbolise love, fidelity and peace. Doves also feature prominently in Christian symbology, which is prevalent in the SH series.
It also creates a very demure, domestic image to be associated with Mary. Maria is the polar opposite, associated with sex, tattoos, and leather.

"Oh yeah, I've been here before
I can see it with eyes closed
Shadows that look like blood
Dead as far as the mind goes
Fear that comes from my head
Lives in the mirror"
