I think CAD is more personal than business or career related. If not personal growth, then personal loss.

I don't know what Red Rover is about. My view of it is colored by misunderstanding the lyrics at first. I thought "could see" was "christine" and I got it in my head that it was about her growing misery on the Dance tour. Obviously, knowing the words, I don't necessarily think that any more.

But during first listens when he said the lips you were kissing were all bathed in blue, all in white I thought it meant that her marriage was over and the only lips she had were the audience members' a sea of strangers, a distance away from them. Their lips were bathed in blue and white because they were flooded by the stage lights and that's the way they looked to the performers looking down at them.

I don't interpret the song that way any more, but I can't say I have found another interpretation for it either.
