I don't see that. He's just finished saying how he has to free himself from himself, which is the context in which he says his life is a "fuga," a word that is most commonly used to mean an escape. (Also, though I'm not sure of this, I believe that "fuga" would be preceded by an article if it meant a fugue state).
