Nine Inch Nails cut "Deep" for the soundtrack to Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001, and it has stayed an outsider in the band's catalog ever since: a promotional single that never made it onto a Nine Inch Nails album and never got one of the band's numbered halo releases. Trent Reznor wrote it and produced it with Alan Moulder, who also mixed.
It did get a video, directed by Enda McCallion and told backwards: Reznor and a woman play bank robbers who lift two boxes from the national mint expecting cash, get sprayed with toxic dye instead, and race to warn each other until their cars meet head on. The film opens on the crash and ends on the decision to go get the boxes.
