Televators is a single from the album De-Loused in the Comatorium by the band The Mars Volta. The cryptic lyrics most likely represent the moment at which the character "Cerpin Taxt" (based on a real life friend of the band, Julio Venegas) decides to take his own life. It is very much a ballad, and its overall quiet nature stands in stark contrast to the hard rock of the rest of the album (especially that of the immediately-following closing track "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt.")
The lyrics indefinitely state the things going through his mind as "Cerpin-Taxt" leaped from the bridge onto the busy street down to the moment where he hit the ground. The act of suicide is after his drug induced coma which he woke up from years before.
