An important moment in his career was in 1995, when he performed at a peace rally at Tel Aviv, a few minutes before Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.
Aviv Geffen is also the son of well known Israeli poet Yehonathan Geffen, and nephew of former Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan. He is sometimes criticised for not serving in the IDF, even though he was actually excused for medical reasons.

Mexico
אביב גפן Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wont stay here
She will fly with him to Mexico
It's too sad to live here
She hasn't anything to lose this time
To fly
She wants to be with him
As far as Mexico, across the ocean
As far as Mexico, to live with him there
Only to fly
Also the pain is growing old in the heart
And only he understands, and only he loves
She's changed like a strange bird
She will leave on wings of silence
To fly...
The lyrics to Aviiv Gefen's song "Mexico" tell the story of a woman who is leaving everything behind to be with the man she loves. She feels that it is too painful to continue living where she is and has nothing else holding her there, so she decides to follow her heart and fly away with him to Mexico. She wants to be as far away as possible, across the ocean, to start a new life with him. The pain of staying where she is has gotten too old in her heart, and only he can understand and love her for who she is. She has changed, like a strange bird, and will leave on the wings of silence to be with him.
The song is a beautiful portrayal of love that transcends all boundaries, and the lengths two people will go to be together. It speaks to the universal desire to find someone to share your life with and the sacrifices we make for love. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting a vivid picture of a woman who has found her true love and is willing to do anything to be with him.
