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.

Откровение
Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Странник в облике надежды предстанет
О, в будничных полетах твоих
Странник может кем-то большим вдруг станет
Время друга и просто молчания время
Кто должен прийти, свое слово нарушив
И полет страстей человеческих бремя
О, в будничных полетах твоих
Странник в облике надежды предстанет
Безумный век, куда ты, остановись
Я уже на пороге я в конце пути
И падение снизу вверх сверху вниз
Не спасет меня
Не спасет тебя
Ауа
Ауа
О, в будничных полетах твоих
Странник в облике надежды предстанет
О, в будничных полетах твоих
Странник может кем-то большим вдруг станет
Осталось не много время у каждого свой срок
Осталось не много время
The lyrics to Би-2's song "Откровение" (Revelation) speak about the mundane routines and flights of our everyday lives. The singer describes a wanderer who appears in the form of hope, suggesting that in our ordinary pursuits, someone can suddenly become something bigger. The lyrics suggest that the passage of time includes moments of friendship and silence, where someone who was supposed to arrive breaks their word, and the weight of human passions cannot save us from unnecessary worries. The repetition of the phrase "О, в будничных полетах твоих" (Oh, in the mundane flights of yours) highlights this theme of the routine and the potential for a transformative experience.
The song also touches upon the concept of an insane era that needs to pause. The singer mentions being on the edge, at the end of the journey, and how falling from the top to the bottom or vice versa cannot save us. The interjections of "Ауа" in the lyrics add a sense of primal call or cry that intensifies the emotional impact of the song.
Overall, "Откровение" delves into the idea that in the ordinary moments of our lives, unexpected and extraordinary transformations are possible. It calls for reflection on the passage of time, the weight of our human experiences, and a desire for something more.
