You are not supposed to get it just like that. The Silent Hill story arc is a very complex one, indeed. The most important thing to understand about it is that you aren't meant to fully understand most of the ideas behind it. Some of them by far, even. The point is for the game to give you enough "strange" material and enough of a feeling of mysteriousness to leave the rest up to your imagination. This is especially evident in Silent Hill 2, where the endings produce more questions than answers. It is most definately frustrating in many aspects, especially for certain types of gamers who are used to everything being resolved at the end of a game, but if you are like me and others who have become fond of the style of the series, you begin to understand why this all makes the most sense for it to be done this way.

I can explain the purpose of pyramid head to you if you wish, by the way. That is actually made quite clear, surprisingly to a lot of people. Or atleast this would be the most widely excepted theory based on what is said and happens in the game. I would love it if the red pyramidhead or something playing the same role as this "character" showed up in SH4 just to mix it up a little.

_RED_ stuff
