Your translation is very good. The "obscure" part must be a result of inaccurate lyrics (a missing comma and the hotel name written in lowercase). Here is my suggestion for this part:

Dépassé, mis à la consigne
Du Grand Hôtel ==>
Discarded, left on a shelf
At The Grand Hotel

About your remaining "question mark": I fully agree with your interpretation of this line. Just in case you are looking for some alternative ways of phrasing it, I would suggest:

"Laugh because you're better off laughing".
(Or, perhaps, "You're better off laughing it off").

"dépassée" has the same meaning as "surannée" could say "obsolete, outpassed"

"la consigne" at a hotel is the left-luggage room

the little french word "en" in this case means "about" " to laugh about it"

Thanks, though I like the 'left on the shelf' line, so I've left it in!
