Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Good at Startin’ Fires” by Blake Shelton
The song “Good at Startin’ Fires” by Blake Shelton is about the pain of a failed relationship and the desire to move on. The narrator reflects on how he used to be good at starting relationships, but now he’s become good at starting fires, as if he’s been burned one too many times. He is stating that no matter how hard he tries, he usually ends up in relationships that don’t often turn out as he expects. While he is filled with sadness, there is a sense of hope that maybe one day he can fall in love again and have a happier ending. The narrator of the song is saying that although he’s been hurt in the past, he is still open to the possibility of finding love and of making it last, despite being good at startin’ fires.
