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.
