Early Morning Lyrics
Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
I see the lonely August sun arise
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
Out on the fields...
I'm waiting the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Ran the whole way
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
Then a last look back
Say you know
You will
Save me like you do
Out on the fields...
I've waited the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
I climbed all the stairways
To find the rooftop clear
Got the shotgun lying with me here
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
Out on the fields
You know how it feels, yeah
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
Eight o'clock precise
I see the lonely August sun arise
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
I'm waiting the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
Then a last look back
Say you know
You will
Save me like you do
I've waited the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
To find the rooftop clear
Got the shotgun lying with me here
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
You know how it feels, yeah
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Eight o'clock precise

I live in climates similar to Norway, with the midnight sun, and early low rise of the morning sun. So it takes a different meaning for me. First, the sun will have been above horizon for a few hours by eight am. Second, I interpreted as a young man, like those who are ready to go at 8 am I’m a night person, so I felt guilty when he was “up” and I was not. Hence loaded gun as an analogy sexually. Say you know you will, has a different connotation. I looked at the video, and I don’t see threatening or finality at all. Too much smiling and hanging around together
Say you know you will, save me like you do, or move me like you do , sung by a sexy man in Lycra shorts? Nah. Early morning Tate a Tate ( sp)

The song for a spree killer?
Not exactly. Seems like he's after just one person. Waiting patiently throughout the night isn't something a spree killer would do. He's also hesitant asking for someone to "save him" from doing what he's about to do. It's like he's after someone that wronged someone he loved and he's out to exact revenge. Perhaps going to shoot a guy who beat up a woman he loves? It's a decent assumption seeing as the setting sounds industrial and most of a-ha songs are about a woman.

I really can´t be 100% precise about the meaning of this song but there are elements that points to some sort of suicide after a murder.
The confusing part (at least for me) its the sweetness of the singer´s voice wich doesnt reflect what´s going on.
Early morning its a precise moment (8am) ... when the murderer sees a "lonely" sun (himself) rising ... wich is contradictory cause that´s a very beautiful and energetic moment of the day. That´s the moment in wich he´ll comit suicide. (shooting himself or jumping) ... (shotgun lying with him)
Before that my guess... is that he waits the victim and force (her/him) to say things like: move me like you do... or save me like you do... wich indicates that the victim and the murderer had some sort of sentimental relatioship.
I have the idea that the victim is able to escape (ran the whole way down to the tracks, through the doorway, then a last look back) but gets killed. (could it be a School or a University? ... the fields, tracks, doorway, stairs, rooftop)
Finally the murderer climbs the stairways and waits for the sunrise to commit suicide.
This is a terryfying song.. if you think about it.
And of course there are musical elements that point to the same meaning.. for instance the constants sounds of the slide guitar are like screams of desperation, and at the minute 1:46 the song as a falling sound.
