| has gloss | eng: "Televators" is a single from the album De-Loused in the Comatorium by the band The Mars Volta. The cryptic lyrics 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."), this is mainly because it is one of only three songs on the album that takes place in reality, outside the "Comatorium", Cerpin Taxt's dream world. |
