Cover art for The Hardest Walk lyrics by Jesus and Mary Chain, The

I believe this song is about when he finds He is no longer in love with someone he has been with.

"I never thought that this day would ever come when your words and your touch struck me numb. Oh and it's plain to see it's dead"

He is saying that he no longer loves them and that the relationship is over for him.

"And I'm stuck in a shack. Down the back of the sea. Oh and I'm alive and I'm alone inside a sick sick dream. Oh is it me is it me that feels so weak I cannot deceive but I find it hard to speak"

He is saying that he is stuck in the relationship because he is too "weak" and he can't keep up the act anymore.

"The hardest walk you could ever take is the walk you take from A TO B to C"

This could either mean it's very difficult for him to "walk from a to b to c" which is his everyday life or walk because of this relationship or that it's the hardest walk for him to walk out of the relationship and leave and saying it's A to B to C is like saying it's just natural what he must do but it's still difficult.

"I walk oh honey I talk. Do not want you to want me. Don't want you to need me x4 and I walk"

This ending can be either that he leaves the relationship and he feels bad thus the "don't want you to want/need me" or that he he keeps walking or continuing his life as it is in the relationship and hoping that his partner breaks up with him or stops loving him
