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.

Лунапарк
Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Разгоняя мрак сиял под небом луна-парк
Адрес был неточным почерк неразборчив
Я закрыл глаза и время двинулось назад
Я всё ещё верю
Ты смотришь вниз на мой смешной оптимизм
Большие потери
Месяц раздвоился, словно бес вселился
Дверь сорвал с петель и закружилась карусель
На ступенях трона ждёт тебя корона
Ты играл не зря возьми её - она твоя
Я всё ещё верю
Ты смотришь вниз на мой смешной оптимизм
Большие потери
Несла душа когда свободой дышала
The lyrics to Би-2's song Лунапарк depict a night scene in a city devoid of power. The singer, under the glow of the moon, disperses the darkness and brings the city to life like an amusement park. The address is uncertain and illegible, but the character closes their eyes and transports themselves back in time. Despite the uncertainties and difficulties faced, the singer still holds onto their belief and optimism. They believe that the person they address in the song is looking down on their foolish optimism. The soul carried great losses when it breathed freedom, indicating that the pursuit of freedom comes with sacrifices. The moon splits in two, as if possessed by a demon, and a carousel spins after tearing off its hinges. The singer believes that on the steps of the throne, a crown awaits the person they speak to. They played the game purposefully, and now the crown is theirs.
Interpretation:
The song seems to capture a sense of defiance and resilience in the face of obstacles and failures. Despite the difficulties and losses faced, the singer still believes in their own optimism and holds onto hope. The moon, symbolizing change and transformation, plays a prominent role in the lyrics, reflecting the dualities and contradictions in life. The mention of the amusement park and carousel suggests a desire to escape reality and find joy in a world that may seem gloomy.

Я вернулся ночью город обесточен
I returned at night to a city without power
Разгоняя мрак сиял под небом луна-парк
Dispelling darkness, the moonlit park shone under the sky
Адрес был неточным почерк неразборчив
The address was inaccurate, written in illegible handwriting
Я закрыл глаза и время двинулось назад
I closed my eyes and time started moving backwards
Я всё ещё верю
I still believe
Ты смотришь вниз на мой смешной оптимизм
You look down at my foolish optimism
Большие потери
Significant losses
Несла душа когда свободой дышала
The soul carried on when breathing freedom
Месяц раздвоился, словно бес вселился
The moon split in two, as if a demon possessed it
Дверь сорвал с петель и закружилась карусель
The door was torn off its hinges and a carousel spun
На ступенях трона ждёт тебя корона
A crown awaits you on the steps of the throne
Ты играл не зря возьми её - она твоя
You have not played in vain, take it - it's yours
