=== Halos Song Credits===* ''Performed, produced and engineered by Trent Reznor*Assisted by [[The Downward SpiralChris Vrenna]]''
== Versions Meaning=="Dead Souls" is often considered to be about a schizophrenic man, as evidenced by the lyric "a duel of personalities" and the other lyric "they keep calling me".
==Appearances= Dead Souls ====Halos===* ''The song is a cover of a Joy Division track originally recorded in 1979 for their album "Still".Downward Spiral'' (Japanese edition and 2-disc Deluxe Edition)
===Seeds===*''The Definitive NIN - The Singles'' ===Soundtracks===* ''The Crow Soundtrack'' ==Versions=====Dead Souls===This version is on ''The Crow'' soundtrack and both the 2-disc Deluxe and Japanese editions of ''The Downward Spiral.'' It is reasonably faithful to the original, though it uses a slower tempo and has a much moodier feel. ===Dead Souls (Instrumental)===This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Trent Reznor through his [[remix.nin.com]] account. ==Live=="Dead Souls" is a regular in setlists. In the [[With Teeth: Summer Amphitheater Tour]], [[Peter Murphy]] joined NIN on stage to sing this song at the live radio show on [[2006/07/01 Chicago, IL (Radio show)|July 1, 2006]], and at the last show of the tour on [[2006/07/08|July 8, 2006]]. On the [[Self Destruct Tour]], Reznor would sing "[[The Becoming]]" lyric, "god damn this noise inside my head," after the end of this song. It would then transition with the sound of wind into a performance of "[[Help Me I Am In Hell]]." == Lyrics ==
Someone take these dreams away
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
When figures from the past stand tall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadores who took their share
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
Calling me, calling me [x2] They keep calling me==External Links== Keep on calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me*[https://archive.org/details/remix-nin-com-audio-02411 "Dead Souls" (Instrumental) at archive.org] [[Category:NIN Songs]][[Category:Covers]]
