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.

Оптимист
Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Мне повезло я - оптимист
Пусть за окном кошмар
Тих и спокоен внутренний Ашрам
Хочешь уйти
Шанти тебе и катись
Лето мираж зимы
Красит Шиву позолота
Руки шире, поза лотос
На-на-на-на-на
На-на-на-на-на-наа
Карма за кармой
Мне хорошо, я живой
Все ничего, пока
Наполовину полон мой бокал
Ветер в лицо
Бешено кружит танцор
Чтобы назло врагам
Снова восстал поверженный лингам
Красит Шиву позолота
Руки шире, поза лотос
На-на-на-на-на
На-на-на-на-на-наа
Красит Шиву позолота
Руки шире, поза лотос
На-на-на-на-на
На-на-на-на-на-наа
The lyrics of Би-2's song "Оптимист" talk about the perspective of being an optimist in the face of difficult situations. The first verse states that the singer sees life as a blank page and he's lucky enough to be an optimist, even if there are nightmares outside, he is at peace in his inner ashram. The second verse encourages the listener to leave if they want to and just roll with it. The seasons pass, summers, winters, autumns, and springs – life goes on.
The chorus talks about the depiction of the deity Shiva covered in gold and in the lotus position. The "na-na-na" in the chorus represents the sound of music and chanting, and it seems to indicate the power and transformative properties of meditation and yoga. The third verse explains that the singer is living a good life, one karma after the other, and everything is alright, as long as his cup is half full. Finally, the last verse describes the feeling of the wind in your face, like a crazily spinning dancer, rising once more from the ashes of defeat, to defy his enemies.
Overall, the song "Оптимист" talks about the importance of keeping a calm and positive mindset, even in the midst of difficult and trying times. It encourages listeners to let go of their fears and embrace the power of optimism and self-reflection, as demonstrated by the use of meditation and the recurring image of the golden Shiva.
