I've filled every moment to the brim

I risked a control-freak obsession

I've lost my voice

And she was right to lose herself

I smiled, with flames in my eyes

Almost lost even the loveliest dream

I stared in the mirror

My reflection asking, 'Who are you?'

And seen from the outside

We never look alone

Surely not me, I know

Yet it's not like that, like that

Lots of people want the me I'm not

The right one, but only for them

Someone else

With no personality

They gave me the words to say

Without telling me how you stay alive

With no instructions

For my happiness

And seen from the outside

We never look alone

Surely not me, I know

Yet it's not like that, like that

We look like targets

Standing on stages

In front of a mic

Yet it's not like that, like that

And then we think that our

Billions of mistakes

Are never useful, I know

But it's never like that, like that

Even so, it's not like that

I'm not who I should be

But that's not my issue

I don't live inside a screen

That woman isn't me

I'm not who I should be

But this freedom

Has eyes like mine

And seen from the outside

We never look alone, alone

Surely not me, I know

Yet it's not like that, like that

And seen from the outside

We look sure, sure

Me too, for sure, I know

Yet it's not like that, like that

Not mine

Not mine, I know

Yet it's not like that, like that

SONG MEANING

Ever feel like you’re starring in someone else’s movie? Laura Pausini captures that uneasy sensation in Eppure Non È Così. The Italian superstar pulls back the velvet curtain on fame: filling every moment to the brim, burning out her voice, smiling while her eyes hold flames. From the audience’s view she is never alone or uncertain, yet in the mirror she quietly asks, “Who are you?” Each chorus repeats “And yet it isn’t so,” hammering home that the glittering surface rarely tells the truth.

The second half widens the lens to include anyone who twists to fit other people’s expectations. Laura lists the unwritten rules we’re handed: what to say, how to look, who to be. Then she calmly tosses them aside: Non sono chi dovrei—“I’m not who I should be”—and that is her triumph, because freedom has eyes just like hers. Mistakes become stepping-stones, not stains. By the final notes, the song has turned into an anthem of radical self-acceptance, urging us to mute the outside noise, drop the filters and reclaim our authentic voice whether we stand on a stage or scroll through a screen.
