"The swamp" in this song may represent the ignorance and close mindedness of the people. There are some unusual and different creatures that look outside, maybe who want to explore and experience different things. Most of the creatures are happy in that swamp and are afraid to go outside, thus they shun those who want to do so. The creature somehow fails to put his ambitions in real life and the others are happy about it. "Who is he to think and act differently? He got what he deserved." But you know, the creature lives so there is always hope.
On second thought, "the swamp" may represent the unfriendly, self centered, ignorant, selfish or corrupted state of today's society. (Basically everything wrong with this world right now.)
