Thanks for the info on Bruno S. people. I think it all makes a little more sense to me now. The phrase "color bars" might alsp refer to the standby signal you see on TV when a station signs off the air for the night. It makes sense when you want to shut off from the mainstream, or the mainstream wants to shuts you off. And of this song has some brilliant cinematic visuals. Also, "the sound" might be the loud beeeeeping you hear when the station goes off the air.
I picture Elliott just sitting on the couch alone late at night in front of the TV (which is how he said in an interview he often wrote songs with his guitar - brilliant!) and he just became one with the moment. That's what I love about Elliott, he could turn this simple moment into a reflection of his rugged individualism!
