"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.")

Music video

The song's music video takes place in a tropical rainforest and features extensive computer animation, showing various animals interacting in their environments. Keeping with the theme of the song itself, the video culminates in a scene where a tarsier commits suicide by leaping from a tree branch (tarsiers are known to kill themselves while in captivity due to stress). It also parallels to Cerpin Taxt jumping off a bridge to his death. [http://web.archive.org/web/20041015083950/http://www.szgdocent.org/pp/p-tarsir.htm] ).
