The song is about having one's boundaries respected, and knowing when to let someone be or knowing when you're not wanted. There's also a theme of anti-conformity(You can't be something you're not, Be yourself by yourself stay away from me). The sludge-powered bass of Rex Brown, the drumming of Vinnie Paul, and guitar style of Dimebag Darrell all contributed to the song's essence. From this, the song derives a steady "walking" rhythm. A live performance of "Walk" is included on Official Live: 101 Proof, and the studio version is also on the band's greatest hits album, The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits!.
