I agree with Tiagre, in fact the first verse seems to be the character "beating his chest"; proud of themselves for getting out of this relationship/religion/etc. Also, it suggests that he tried to tell at least one other person of the imminent danger but they didn't listen.
Finally the line "I'd like for them to take me on" suggests he wants to be tested again by his new "crowd".
