It was formed in Belarus in 1988 by Leva (Yegor Bortnik) and Shura (Alexander Uman), who both took the surname BI-2. BI originally was the abbreviation of "Bereg Istini" ("Shores of truth"), the previous name of the band. In the early years the band was playing punk rock music.

In 1991 BI-2 moved to Israel and disbanded in 1993. Shura moved to Australia where he joined a darkwave band, Chiron. He invited Leva to join it in 1996. Chiron was an obscure band, featuring vocals by Michael Aliani. Some of the Chiron songs were re-recorded and re-released in 2006 as the album "Chiron" by BI-2, with Leva's vocals.

In 1998 Leva and Shura moved to Russia to conquer the rock scene. They participated in the soundtrack for the Брат 2 ("Brother II") movie by Alexey Balabanov, and soon became one of the most popular rock bands. In 2005 BI-2 together with Mихаил Карасев (Mikhail Karasev) (BI-2's lyrics writer and Shura's uncle) released the Нечётный Воин ("Odd Warrior") project, joined by many Russian rock and pop artists.

Адреса
Би-2 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Адреса в небеса на обратном пути
Как-нибудь этот путь помоги мне пройти

Там, где ты теперь без названия сад
Там, где ты теперь берега тишины
Там, где ты теперь через ночь наугад
Все, что остались должны

Адреса в небеса, пустоты колесо
Рядом с ней много дней
День за днем вот и все

Там, где ты теперь без названия сад
Там, где ты теперь берега тишины
Там, где ты теперь через ночь наугад
Все, что остались должны

.

Остаюсь и боюсь продолженья всего
Адреса в небеса, на земле никого.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Адреса" by Би-2 speak of a person's struggle to find their way in a world where they feel lost and alone. The singer asks for help on their journey, hoping that someone or something will guide them through the difficult times. They speak of a place in the sky, an address that could offer some solace or guidance, but it seems just out of reach. The emptiness and uncertainty of the world is represented by the void of the "пустоты колесо", or the emptiness of a wheel.

The place where the singer's lover used to reside is now a nameless garden, where the shore of silence offers no comfort. They travel through the night, unsure of where they are going, all that they have left behind them. The line "Все, что остались должны" - "all that they have left behind them" - speaks of the singer's sense of loss and resonates with anyone who has had to leave loved ones behind.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of fear and uncertainty, "Остаюсь и боюсь продолженья всего", "I stay and I fear the continuation of everything." The singer appears to be searching for a way to move forward and find their place in the world, but they are lost in the darkness.

Overall, the lyrics of "Адреса" are a poignant reflection of the human experience: a journey of hope, longing, and searching for meaning.
