no pain, its just a part of the game!
now, you see ζωη does mean life, but its also used as a female name.
actually the lyrics writer kinda plays with this ambiguity, he talks about his shitty life, then talks about Ζωη who's a fat teacher that gives shit to the children etc.
many common greek names (usually female) are also words that mean something pe Ελευθερία means freedom, Ειρήνη means peace, Χαρά means joy..
