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.

Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
И в душе не спасают пески от тоски
Кажется, было не так, обретенное вслух на открытых местах
И теперь на обратном пути не найти
Не я, а кто-нибудь другой, надежный и живой
Останется с тобой
И закат виноват
Кажется, последний раз проходит жизнь, играет джаз
Не для нас, не для нас
кажется, было не там, и в игре на своем я испортил все сам
и потом вся на свете мура до утра
Не я, а кто-нибудь другой, надежный и живой
Останется с тобой
Кажется, уже не тот по вертикали горизонт
И закат виноват
Кажется, последний раз проходит жизнь, играет джаз
Не для нас, не для нас
.
Кажется, уже не тот по вертикали горизонт
И закат виноват
Кажется, последний раз проходит жизнь, играет джаз
Не для нас, не для нас.
The lyrics to Би-2's song Jazz describe the feeling of lost love and past mistakes. The opening line suggests that the words spoken between the lovers were no longer simple, and were possibly said in a foreign language, indicating a sense of distance between the two. The line "And in my soul, the sands do not save me from sadness" illustrates a feeling of emptiness and desperation within the singer as a result of the relationship ending. The line "And now on the way back, there is no finding what was gained out loud in open spaces" suggests that the singer is unable to find their way back to happiness and contentment after the relationship.
In the second verse, the line "Not me, but someone else, reliable and alive, will stay with you" shows the singer's understanding that they are no longer the right person for their lover and that someone else will take their place. The line "Life passes for the last time, jazz is playing, not for us, not for us" implies that the singer feels they have missed their chance at happiness and is resigned to watching life pass them by.
Overall, Jazz is a mournful song that explores the themes of lost love, regret, and the feeling of being left behind.
