Grinder Lyrics

I too tend to think that a lot of Priest songs are about sex. Wait!! Isnt a huge portion of rock and roll about sex?? Priest is no exception. However, in this case you had a man writing lyrics who was active in the BDSM gay scene. As someone who has dabbled there a bit myself.... this song is absolutely about gay sex. It is about the hunt, the way gay/bi men go about satisfying their needs. "Grinder, looking for meat." That is not subtle, but rather direct. Men seeking sex with other men, are direct. Most of the time is about raw, pleasure. The allure is that there is no need to woo, or date, or play mind games. He is here looking for the same thing you are..... we are all meat in the grinder.
