Firstly I like Johnathanfisks interpretation, and i used to think the same as Miniemetoo.
I always thought it was 'could you tell lady enchantment I said goodbye- i met a girl called disillusionment'
I think that this is a song ultimately about regret... he misses lady enchantment because he is now with 'a girl called disillusionment'. He is still in love with L.E. as 'I run up to the rainbow girl
just to pass her by' but at the same time for one reason or another, he feels bound to stay with the other girl,or maybe like Ophelia, his ideal woman is dead, 'but I'l never have a change of heart' and therefore 'my swan will never sing' (or maybe like Ophelia she is dead). his further regret 'I have no heart, my swan is gone'. All he has left is the dreams of the the woman he loves 'and now I wear the wings'. By comparing himself to the swan he is showing his own imaginary world, the association between the wings and flying insinuates that he still dreams of this girl, even though he dreamt about her for 29 years'.
I think the part of the song that is repeated in boxer is showing that he has over come his regret and disillusionment, as this can be interpreted differently without the context of the rest of the song (29 years, not slow show). In slow show I think Miniemetoo's interpretation is correct.
