I'm sorry but i don't think that what he is saying is
If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all
But instead
If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing MORTAL
The singer has a friend that is messing around with somebody he doesn't care for, tempting disaster
Dear friend of mine is testing his body
Tempting disaster
Testing water with another’s daughter
He doesn't want to get involve, and even though it is physically showing his rejection for their union, and he defends himself on it
Dear friend of mine, my ear is bending
I'm not helping
I'm not telling
I'm not solving
I’m not saying you’re pretending
Here is where it can get tricky, there might be a deep scar on the friend that he doesn't care about the consequences, and even though he is united with somebody, he is still alone
Dear friend of mine is helpless without helping
Healed without scab or scar
New union found him alone
Here is the singer excuses to not get involve, he doesn't want to damage his friendship and carry that weight with him, let it be is his resolution. So when he is saying You Should Say Nothing Mortal, he is talking to himself.
If you’ve got no kind words to say
Carry no weight
Let the weight carry you
Amazing song! It was fun analyzing it, but that's what my interpretation of it :-)
