You know where it goes
Life without courage
Stays half real
Like an ice statue
What I've been through will slowly fade
Like handwritten notes in a used book
We gotta give a mistake the right weight
Scars help us fly better
When I put my soul into it
And then I lose heart
It's the world that collapses
But my stubborn head doesn't
The smile falls from my lips
Like a glass that shatters on the floor
There are words like bombs that burn inside
But I won't listen
I won't let anger win
And my change grows like a forest
I trade what I feared for what I feel
And it's not much
But at least it's a good start
In the middle of this noise
And among a million streets
I look for a better future
I stop and try to shine
And whoever watches me while I slow-dance alone
Doesn't know how beautiful giving yourself time is
It's the thrill I feel on the edge of the cliff
The end of a race before the judgment
When I put my soul into it
And then I lose heart
It's the world that collapses
But my stubborn head doesn't
The smile falls from my lips
Like a glass that shatters on the floor
There are words like bombs that burn inside
But I won't listen
I won't let anger win
And my change grows like a forest
I trade what I feared for what I feel
And it's not much
But at least it's a good start
What broke inside me?
What made me shake so hard?
It's fear that sometimes turns
Insecurity into freedom
If only a train was enough to run away, run away
If only a trick was enough to hide all the apathy
If only a good start was enough for my melancholy
The smile falls from my lips
Like a glass that shatters on the floor
There are words like bombs that burn inside
But I won't listen
I won't let anger win
And my change grows like a forest
I trade what I feared for what I feel
And it's not much
But at least it's a good start

SONG MEANING

“Un Buon Inizio” is Laura Pausini’s pep-talk to herself and anyone who feels stuck between past scars and future dreams. She sings about moments when courage disappears, smiles shatter like dropped glasses, and harsh words explode like hidden bombs. Yet every crack becomes a lesson: mistakes gain the “right weight,” and even fear can morph into freedom. The chorus turns that revelation into a mantra—refuse to let anger win, trade what you once feared for what you now feel, and celebrate every small step forward.

Across bustling streets, deafening noise, and personal precipices, Pausini claims her space to shine. Dancing a slow waltz alone, she reminds us that change can grow “like a forest,” quietly but powerfully. A single brave choice may not fix everything, but it can spark momentum. In other words, it may not be much… yet it’s a good beginning—and that’s more than enough to start rewriting your story.
