Soon there after her home town station in New York KTU 103.5 started playing it on their weekly mixshow and became a smash hit. Texas stations followed after that and like a dominoe affect stations across the country joined in, and in no time Synthia Figueroa was becoming a very well known dance/ freestyle diva.
With all the success from her first two releases Artistik Recordings knew it was the perfect time for an album.

After about a month "Dreaming" the album was completed. "Dreaming" features her first two hits "You were meant for me" and "Touch me" along with her new single "Dreaming". There is also a duet with Producer/ artist Willie Valentin titled "Love you, Need you".
Standouts on the album include: "Thinking about you", Pop R&B cut titled "All the little things" (which has a PINK feel), and a remake of the Shyrells hit "Will you still love me tomorrow?".

Touch Me
Synthia Figueroa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is a four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
The lyrics of Synthia Figueroa's song "Touch Me" are about embracing life and taking risks in order to find what makes us feel alive. The opening lines compare life to a swinging vine, with the singer swinging her heart across the line, indicating a willingness to take risks and put oneself out there. The flashing signs in her face suggest that there are opportunities all around us, but we must actively seek them out in order to find what we are looking for.
The chorus focuses on the conflicting feelings that arise when we pursue what we want in life. The singer feels something "so right by doing the wrong thing" and "something so wrong by doing the right thing," suggesting that what we think is morally right may not always align with what we feel in our hearts. The repetition of "I could lie, could lie, could lie, everything that kills me makes me feel alive" reveals that the singer believes that taking risks and embracing the unknown is what makes life worth living.
The second half of the song focuses on the singer's desire to break free from the constraints of society and pursue her dreams. She dreams of the things that she and her partner could be, and prays for a life of fulfillment and purpose rather than one focused on counting dollars. The bridge of the song, with its repeated refrain of "take that money, watch it burn, sink in the river, the lessons I learned," suggests a willingness to let go of material possessions and prioritize experiences and personal growth instead.
In summary, "Touch Me" is about the importance of taking risks in order to find fulfillment and purpose in life. The song encourages listeners to embrace the unknown and prioritize experiences and personal growth over material possessions and societal expectations.
Line by Line Meaning
I see this life
I view my life
Like a swinging vine
As a flexible and ever-changing entity
Swing my heart across the line
Take risks and go beyond boundaries
In my face is flashing signs
Opportunities and possibilities are constantly presenting themselves to me
Seek it out and ye shall find
Actively search for what I desire and I will discover it
Old, but I'm not that old
I am experienced, but not outdated
Young, but I'm not that bold
I may be young, but I am not reckless
And I don't think the world is sold
I don't believe everything is up for sale or has a price
I'm just doing what we're told
I follow the expectations and norms set by society
I feel something so right
I sense something fulfilling and satisfying
By doing the wrong thing
Despite taking actions deemed incorrect by society
And I feel something so wrong
At the same time, I feel guilty for going against expectations
By doing the right thing
While following societal norms
I could lie, could lie, could lie
I am capable of deceiving others
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Risky and potentially dangerous activities give me a sense of vitality and excitement
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
I have been struggling to rest lately
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Fantasizing about various possibilities for my future
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
I have been earnestly and persistently hoping for my aspirations to come true
Said no more counting dollars
Money is not the only thing that matters
We'll be counting stars
We will focus on grander and more significant pursuits
I feel the love
I am aware of the positive sentiment
And I feel it burn
And the feeling is intense and strong
Down this river every turn
At every new event and situation in my life
Hope is a four letter word
Hope is a small and simple concept, but can have a great impact
Make that money
Earn a profit
Watch it burn
Spend it recklessly and without care
And I feel something so wrong
I still experience guilt
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
Adversity and struggle motivate me to overcome and thrive
Take that money
Spend and enjoy the fruits of my labor
Sink in the river
Let go and go with the flow
The lessons I learned
The knowledge and experience gained
