A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger. In a wider use of the term, fingerprints are the traces of an impression from the friction ridges of any part of a human or other primate hand. A print from the foot can also leave an impression of friction ridges. A friction ridge is a raised portion of the epidermis on the digits (fingers and toes), the palm of the hand or the sole of the foot, consisting of one or more connected ridge units of friction ridge skin. These are sometimes known as "epidermal ridges" which are caused by the underlying interface between the dermal papillae of the dermis and the interpapillary (rete) pegs of the epidermis. These epidermal ridges serve to amplify vibrations triggered, for example, when fingertips brush across an uneven surface, better transmitting the signals to sensory nerves involved in fine texture perception. These ridges also assist in gripping rough surfaces, as well as smooth wet surfaces.
How can I be sure?
When everything is so confusing
Old enough to learn
That I'm too young to know what I'm doing
Gotta break free from what used to be
It no longer makes sense for me, ohh.
How do I stand out?
In a world that's all about fitting in
I'm certain of my doubts
But I wouldn't be me for no reason
My identity
Right in front of me
There's nobody else I wanna be like.
I'm just trying to find, find my fingerprint
Redefine, who am I, where do I begin
All I know is what I've been told
But the one I see in the mirror is so different
Unique as my fingerprint.
I'm positive
That I don't know where I'm going
How do I make sense?
Of all these crazy emotions
I'm up and down
Get turned around
But I'm still clear on my intentions.
Oh God, I'm just trying to find, find my fingerprint
Redefine, who am I, where do I begin
All I know is what I've been told
But the one I see in the mirror is so different
Unique as my fingerprint.
Do they see me like I see me?
Not even close
Do they know me like I know me?
I don't know
I'm still undecided but I realize that it's ok
Good things are worth the wait.
I'm just trying, yeah
Where do I begin?
All I know...
So different
Unique as my fingerprint.
Find my fingerprint
Redefine, who am I, where do I begin
All I know is what I've been told
But the one I see in the mirror is so different
