Up until the day
Reflecting on experiences until a certain day.
You met the family

You'd never felt that pain begin to drain, oh!
Describing a newfound pain emerging after meeting the family.
And up until the day
Continuing reflection until another significant day.
You sold the family

You'd kept that fractured face from being shown

Let's play
Initiating a suggestion to play a game.
Turn to stone
Metaphorically turning emotionally numb like stone.
Like you played with broken bones
Recalling playing recklessly with broken bones.
And now finally you can see me turn to stone
Expressing visibility of emotional numbness.
Up until the day
Continuation of reflection until another impactful day.
You cracked the fountain

I'd never felt my life drain in that way, oh!
Describing the draining feeling after the fountain incident.
Up until that day you
Referring to another significant day involving tainted water.
Tainted the water
Linking tainted water to hiding an average face.
You'd kept that average face from being shown
Let's play
Reintroducing the idea of playing a game.
Turn to stone
Reiteration of turning emotionally numb like stone.
Like you played with broken bones
Recalling playing recklessly with broken bones again.
And now finally you can see me turn to stone
Highlighting the visibility of emotional numbness once more.
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Repeating a vocal expression, perhaps emphasizing emotional intensity.
