I think the last line makes more sense as, "like an elegy in disguise." According to Wikipedia, an elegy is "a mournful, melancholic or plaintive poem, especially a funeral song or a lament for the dead." This would tie in with the chorus, "If I was born the same day that you died..."
I'm not sure what the song means, but I've been thinking of it in terms of carrying on someone's legacy after they've passed away, and reflecting on the new meaning and purpose that their death might bring to a person who survives them.
