“Tossed Away” is a song about a quiet kind of recognition. The moment when disappointment replaces confusion and the truth finally begins to settle in. But it doesn’t frame that realization as confrontation or closure. Instead it lets the feeling exist without rushing to resolve it.
“I’ve thought about this theme many times in my life,” Alter explains. “People using you for their own gain. It really sucks. We’ve all felt it at some point. I finally was able to verbalize that sentiment in a song.”
