Non-Bio is an outgrowth of Howard Gardner's animation/film website www.downwithfreedom.com, where he has previously created cartoon music videos for other bands (notably History Of Guns, Daniel Vincent and The Resonance Association) and in 2009 developed a taste for making his own musical compositions to accompany visual pieces.
Howard collaborated with Skat Injector as guitarist during the bands early days, but left in 2007 to go his own way and pursue other electronic sounds. Non-Bio's main influences today include Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, The Aphex Twin, Wumpscut, Coil and the some of the early output by Nine Inch Nails. In 2012 Karl Lloyd of X-KiN joined the band to provide additional live electronics, samples and backing vocals for stage shows. He has also done remixes of various Non-Bio tracks.
The first album 'Blue Horned Humanoids' was released in October 2011 and The Game EP followed in 2013.

The Game
Non-Bio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
это я - я лечу в облака , в никуда
оставляю взгляд - он все скажет за меня
мы с тобою остались в пропасти, а быть может и в той невесомости
руки цепляют, глаза повторяют: прощай
я прошепчу тебе прощай сжигаю все мосты забывай этот май
сейчас уже не жаль
тихий теплый вечер, меня обнимают волны,
смотрю в твои глаза не понимаю кто ты?
твой game over настал, ты так сильно устал
ты проиграл сейчас и только понимаешь
пурпурными слезами все не смоешь, знаешь?
прислушайся к словам в них нет не капли лжи
ты потерял меня сейчас - теперь ищи
я прошепчу тебе прощай сжигаю все мосты забывай этот май
сейчас уже не жаль
стираю номера ведь больше не твоя
lost your mind and fall apart
are you playing with my heart
я прошепчу тебе прощай сжигаю все мосты забывай этот май
сейчас уже не жаль
стираю номера ведь больше не твоя
The lyrics to Non-Bio's song "The Game" describe the singer's emotional detachment from a failed relationship. The first verse compares the world to an eight-bit game with the singer as the player, flying off into the clouds and leaving everything behind. The chorus repeats the phrase "goodbye", burning all the bridges and leaving the other person behind. The second verse is more introspective, with the singer reflecting on their confusion and frustration about the other person's true identity. The bridge asks if the other person was playing with the singer's heart and expresses the idea that the other person lost their mind and fell apart.
Overall, the song seems to be about closure and moving on from a relationship that has ended badly. The singer is trying to disconnect from their emotions and let go of the past. They address the other person directly, speaking to them about the need to let go and move on. The lyrics are very straightforward, expressing the singer's emotions in simple terms but still conveying a sense of complexity and depth.
Line by Line Meaning
весь этот мир как восьмибитная игра вот принцесса, дракон, судья
The whole world is like an 8-bit game, with a princess, dragon, and judge
это я - я лечу в облака , в никуда
This is me, flying into the clouds, into nothingness
оставляю взгляд - он все скажет за меня
I leave my gaze to speak for me
мы с тобою остались в пропасти, а быть может и в той невесомости
We are left in the abyss, or perhaps in weightlessness
руки цепляют, глаза повторяют: прощай
Hands hold on, eyes repeat: Goodbye
я прошепчу тебе прощай сжигаю все мосты забывай этот май
I whisper goodbye to you, burning all bridges, forget this May
сейчас уже не жаль
It's not regrettable anymore
стираю номера ведь больше не твоя
I erase the numbers because you're no longer mine
тихий теплый вечер, меня обнимают волны
Quiet warm evening, waves surround me
смотрю в твои глаза не понимаю кто ты?
I look into your eyes and don't understand who you are
твой game over настал, ты так сильно устал
ты проиграл сейчас и только понимаешь
Your game over has come, you're so tired. You've lost now, and only just realize it
пурпурными слезами все не смоешь, знаешь?
You can't wash away everything with purple tears, you know?
прислушайся к словам в них нет не капли лжи
Listen to my words, there isn't a drop of lie in them
ты потерял меня сейчас - теперь ищи
You lost me now - now go search
lost your mind and fall apart
You lost your mind and have fallen apart
are you playing with my heart
Are you playing with my heart?
я прошепчу тебе прощай сжигаю все мосты забывай этот май
I whisper goodbye to you, burning all bridges, forget this May
сейчас уже не жаль
It's not regrettable anymore
стираю номера ведь больше не твоя
I erase the numbers because you're no longer mine
