"Casket" by UnoTheActivist is a song that explores themes of violence, aggression, and the consequences of one's actions. The lyrics depict a ruthless and dangerous individual who is willing to resort to violence, specifically shooting to kill, to protect themselves and their reputation. The song starts with the protagonist telling one of their partners to be quiet, while another partner is calling them. The protagonist dismisses their partner's attempts at communication, telling them to go to bed with all the "pillow talkin'," implying that they are tired of meaningless conversation. The chorus repeats the phrase "He in a casket" multiple times, suggesting that the protagonist has taken revenge on someone and that person is now in a casket, symbolizing their death. This highlights the violent nature of the protagonist. Throughout the song, UnoTheActivist references the use of drugs, specifically Percocets. This could imply that the protagonist is under the influence or uses drugs to enhance their aggression and readiness to engage in violent acts. The lyrics also hint at the protagonist's disregard for others. They treat their partners like objects, tricking and abandoning them without any concern. They boast about being able to end someone's career and put an end to any disagreement or "beef" they may have. The song also includes references to street life and criminal activities. The mention of putting a bag on someone's family suggests that the protagonist has ordered a hit on them, intending to harm or kill them. The line about being in the "gulag" is a reference to the video game Call of Duty: Warzone, where players are sent to a "gulag" if they are killed and have a chance to fight for their survival. This reference adds to the overall aggressive tone of the song. Overall, "Casket" portrays a character who is willing to resort to extreme violence to protect themselves and their reputation. The lyrics highlight a disregard for others' lives and a glorification of aggression and brutality.
