CuteSparkina, I like your interpretation better (I can relate to it so much better!), but the sad truth is, it's just not true. Yes, Romeo Void actually said in one of their earlier videos that this song is indeed about incest, and not just about that, but also about homelessness and murder. The music video clears up a lot of the confusion.
Personally though, I think Deborah Iyall is the best singer ever! Big girls can rock too and all ya'll who say she's too fat can go eat a burger!
@DesertRose98 Perhaps we can learn from this. Don't speak to someone like they're an idiot unless you know for certain your not about to prove yourself an idiot. Actually, there's rarely reason to speak to people that way even if you are 100% you're right.

In case you don't want to check out the interview, here is her quote about who she wrote the song for: Debora: The song was written for Frank Zincavage, the bass player of Romeo Void.

I had told [songwriting partner] Peter Dunn, within confidence and he and Frank are good friends. I thought I could not have Peter tell him after I was gone. So I called him and told him, “I’m going for surgery and I have to tell you just in case that I wrote “Never Say Never” about you”. He was shocked. The relationships in the band were very platonic but it was in the back of my mind. The lyrics, “I might like you better if we slept together” is saying in some ways, I really don’t like you all that much. I might come to really appreciate you some more if I was getting some action.

@DesertRose98 Maybe you should check out an interview with Debora Iyall, Here, it is not about incest unless you are calling her a liar. https://www.rockerzine.com/2012/07/deborah-iyall-of-romeo-void-staying-strong/
