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.

Не узнаю
Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
И не болит
Сердцем не просит
Глазом не спит
И на краю
Не устоять
То что случится
Мир до молитвы
Тот же сюжет
Словно у бритвы
Выбора нет
Не узнаю
Пробую ртом
Слезы с акцентом
Воздух со льдом
Больше не найдется печали простой
Больше не тревожит луна
Ангел не вернется на землю за мной
И на краю
Не устоять
То что случится
Лучше не знать
In the song "Не узнаю" by Би-2 + Инна Желанная, the lyrics express a sense of detachment and emotional numbness. The singer states that they no longer recognize themselves, as their heart does not feel pain, their soul does not ask for anything, and their eyes do not sleep. This suggests a deep state of emotional exhaustion or disconnection.
The lyrics continue to convey a feeling of uncertainty and a reluctance to face what lies ahead. The singer expresses that it is better not to know what will happen, as they are unable to resist or cope with it. This could reflect a sense of fear or vulnerability in facing the unknown.
The song also hints at a sense of resignation or acceptance. The line "Мир до молитвы, тот же сюжет" (The world before prayer, the same plot) suggests that life continues with its repetitive patterns, irrespective of prayers or desires. It highlights the feeling of being trapped or lacking control.
The second verse introduces a new element of the singer's attempts to cope with their emotions. They try to express their tears with an accent and breathe in cold air, indicating a need to externalize or find relief from their inner turmoil.
Overall, "Не узнаю" reflects a state of emotional detachment, uncertainty about the future, and a resignation in the face of life's challenges.
