I know that Robb has talked previously about abuse he suffered growing up (and has sung about this in songs). I think this song could be to that offender ... sort of his song of showing he is stronger now! And that he is ready to explode with rage upon them if their paths shall cross again!
OR ... another thought could be that this is about God. A conversation with God if you will. Pretty much the narrator is pissed off that God didn't help them in their times of need ("You told me don't ask, just stay away from me"). This is their message that they no longer need God, they are stronger now having overcome themselves and don't need the thought of a God to help them anymore. Some religious people may argue that perhaps God does this to test us, and help us grow ... but the end of this song suggests that the narrator feels that they have "outgrown" God and they better not cross their path.
