"The idea behind some of the songs is addressing modern love or what's going on with my head and my life (more) than Save Rock and Roll did . I think Save Rock and Roll was a little more broader when it came to that ." "Centuries" was written with the aim to inspire . Some topical issues including the 2014 Ferguson unrest are addressed . Wentz stated, "as an artist that has a platform, there's certain things that if you believe, you should say ." However, he restated that Fall Out Boy is not a political band . </P> <P> The "American Beauty" half of the album's title comes from the album by the Grateful Dead and the 1999 film .
