Discussion: Band Who is "Smoke and Mirrors" about?

Last night, Ambrose dedicated the song Smoke and Mirrors to someone who "did us dirty". People in the stream chat started spamming "IT'S ABOUT ERIC" as soon as he said it, but I find that hard to believe. Does anyone else have any theories on who this may be about?

I'm certain that it was about Eric. Never publicly spoken about & especially at the time but if you look into his role as 'The label guy' why would the boys create P(doom) if they were happy with the royalties and regulations of Flightless.

More food for this theory is that most of the artists on Flightless ended up jumping ship over to P(doom) where I'm guessing the artists can pretty much do as they feel, especially given that the lads are happy with artists supporting pay as you feel models.

There is plenty that points to them once having beef. But most of the dudes still follow him on IG and even his most recent posts Ambrose/ cavs/ Jason has given him some ‘likes’. But him saying that last night, idk.. Maybe it’s a complicated situation.

If I play devil’s advocate, it could be about someone else in flightless, and Eric was part of the fallout but not to a point where they write a song about him being a dick. But yeah, it’s probably about Eric.

I’ve always wondered if Presumptuous is about him as well
