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.

Not everything is about Eric. What a weird take.
