Thrash metal: With its beginnings in the 1980s, it took inspirations from earlier extreme bands such as Venom and Hellhammer, NWOBHM, and hardcore punk. Various different offshoots have developed over the years (blackened thrash, Teutonic thrash etc.) as a result of the scene becoming saturated in the late ‘80s, although a recent resurgent of thrash metal bands is evident.
Thrash, a.k.a. thrashcore or fastcore: a fast tempo subgenre of hardcore punk that emerged in the early 1980s, often confused with crossover thrash and sometimes thrash metal influenced metalcore bands (when referred to as thrashcore). The -core suffix was added in the ‘90s to avoid confusion with metal, though the basic term ‘thrash’ still sees usage in reference to this style.
Walk
Pantera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One step from lashing out at you
You want in, to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do?
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?
Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me?
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?
No way, punk
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me?
Respect, walk, what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?
Walk on home, boy
The lyrics to Pantera's song "Walk" are a powerful expression of frustration and isolation. The singer is easily bothered by persistence and feels one step away from lashing out at those who try to get under their skin and call themselves a friend. The singer acknowledges having more friends like these and questions what they should do. The repeated refrain of "Respect, walk" emphasizes the need for respect and boundaries, telling individuals to be themselves, by themselves, and stay away from the singer. The lesson learned in life is to know when to walk away from individuals who do not respect boundaries.
The song is a commentary on the lack of standards in society and the need for individuals to be true to themselves. The singer questions what it takes, who they are, where they have been, and where they belong. The lyrics suggest that being oneself is more important than trying to be someone they are not. The violins playing signify that the individual cries to their weak friends who sympathize with them, while those same friends tell the singer every word. The frustrating and isolating experience of having friends who are not true friends is not something new and has been known since the dawn of time.
There are several interpretations of the lyrics to "Walk." One interpretation is that the song is about the music industry and the pressure for musicians to conform to a certain image. Another interpretation is that the song is about personal boundaries and respecting those boundaries. The repetition of "Respect, walk" is a powerful reminder that individuals need to respect one another's boundaries and be true to themselves.

I love the message behind this song. Walking for 30-60 minutes per day can improve confidence, stamina, energy, weight control and life expectancy and reduce stress. It can also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, bowel cancer and osteoporosis. We need more bands like Pantera promoting healthy living.
