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.

Теряю свет
Би-2 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Это небо за снегом открыто не всем
Как последнее взгляду
Ты сюда не придешь неизвестно зачем,
Да тебе и не надо

Теряю свет
Над головой
Но снега белый свет

Всегда со мной

Это место под снегом
Где мне одному
Оставаться однажды
То, что ты никогда не поймешь ни к чему
Да тебе и не важно

Теряю свет
Над головой
Но снега белый свет
Всегда со мной

.

Теряю свет
Над головой
Но снега белый свет
Всегда со мной

Теряю свет
Над головой

Но снега белый свет
Всегда со мной.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Теряю свет" by Би-2 feat. Агата Кристи, the lyrics speak about a person who feels disconnected from the world and finds solace in the snow. The first verse talks about how not everyone can see the sky beyond the snow and compares this to a last gaze. It suggests that the person the singer is addressing will not come here for uncertain reasons, and they don't need to. It implies a sense of resignation and acceptance of this reality.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Теряю свет" which translates to "I'm losing light" and it signifies the loss of hope or motivation. However, the lyrics also present a contrast with the line "Но снега белый свет всегда со мной" which means "But the white light of snow is always with me." Here, snow is depicted as a source of comfort and a constant companion, providing a sense of peace and tranquility despite the loss of light.
