I don't think this is about a kidnapping at all. Instead I think he is talking about his thoughts on suicide and his fantasy of actually doing it. The first verse does say "I watched it all in my head, perfect sense.
They'll take me from me my bed,
Leave everything that is worth a single cent and just take me instead."
I think that talks about him seeing how everything will play out and also that when you die, everything is left behind except for you because your soul is taken away. Everything that you have ever done or have is left behind on earth and only your soul is taken.The chorus where he sings don't tell them anything, means to me don't tell the police how he died because then everyone will know and he doesn't like the publicity of his life in general. That's what I get from this song.
