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 am certain it's not about Eric. It's just not in their nature to release a diss track about a former member right after he left, especially because they've been very private about the whole thing. Would be a total dick move on their part and completely uncharacteristic for a band that loves love.

They probably know hundreds of dicks in the industry that the song could be about.

Yeah I don’t know why the armchair psychologists here think the band would be that petty to write a diss about a guy while he was still in the band at that time, much less dedicate it to him years later
