Dr. Andrew Hodges, a Birmingham, Ala. psychiatrist, told the National Enquirer that the lyrics to Casey Anthony’s favorite song “The Past” by the group Sevendust contain her confession to murder.
According to the Enquirer, Dr. Hodges is an “expert at interpreting how criminals reveal themselves subconsciously through what they say and write.”
The report alleges that when Casey was released from jail last summer she made a friend listen to the song 13 times in a row. She allegedly told the friend, “This song was in my head the whole time I was in jail… It reminds me of everything that’s going on in my life.”
The lyrics begin by saying “Beneath the water that’s falling from my eyes lays a soul I’ve left behind…” Dr. Hodges says “For Casey, the lyrics refer to Caylee Anthony’s murder.”
Casey is charged with the first degree murder of her daughter, Caylee, 2. Her murder trial is scheduled to begin in June 2010.
“Casey is grieving for a soul she left behind, confessing responsibility for the death,” said Dr. Hodges. “Casey has some emotional wound—a hole inside—that caused her to act out her aggression on her daughter. She is sorrowful but able to live in denial.”
Although Dr. Hodges has not personally treated the mother accused of murder, he claims some of the lyrics in the song reveal that Casey is frightened she’ll be found guilty of killing Caylee. Specifically, the lyric “I’ll pray (the past) doesn’t scream my name so I light a flame and let it breathe the air that kills the shame.” He also says the chorus, which is “I’m up, I’m down, like a roller-coaster racing through my life. I’ve erased the past again,” underscores “frightening mood swings.”
