Unfortunately Damna hates releasing information on why he writes certain songs.

Here's what he said on it: "If you read the lyrics of Swallowtail you'll see it's a simple story but with a deep meaning..I won't explain it here..beacuse if you translate it, it's quite easy to understand it... anyway Swallowtail seems a witch...it's up to you to choose wether she's good or bad"

Basically, the narrator of the story has been told to stay away from the woods because there lives an evil witch (Swallowtail). He has been told horror tales of men that have gone in there never to return. Finally, he braves the woods and finds the woman - who is exceptionally beautiful and lures him in. However, he understands that she is like a Siren --> she lures these men in only to kill them ("Death she'd exhale. . ." and "Only pieces of their bodies. . ."). Aydan confirmed this. . .it's basically a retelling of the story of the Sirens.
