I suspect this song is about loving somebody in such a way that transcends time and life experiences and finally having that love validated/realizing it’s reciprocated. May or may not be a romantic partner, but more than that, somebody you connect with in a deeply spiritual way. “Do you always trust your first initial feeling? Special knowledge holds true bears believing” what this communicates to me is she deeply connected with somebody right away but spent a significant amount of time questioning that connection, but it was so strong it engulfed her emotionally/spiritually it was hard to navigate through as she was “drowning” in it. “How the faces of love change turning the pages, and I have changed, oh but you, you remain ageless” tells me she’s moved on, been with other lovers and has had separate life experiences, but her memory of the other person and the intensity of those feelings for them hasn’t changed and defies age/time. The tone seems a little sad to me too...at once deep, raw and soul-touching and at the same time, sad, longing and slightly tragic. Like there just isn’t anything she can do to stop those feelings which are both beautiful and hurtful to experience.
