It's a glimpse into his life at that moment. He was a musician making good money, renting a house on the beach in Key West and partying like a rock-star at the local bars. Not really concerned about the impending hurricane blowing in. As I would imagine most residents of the Keys wouldn’t be concerned about it either. You have to reason with them in your head it’s the price you pay to live in there and you accept it. He woke up with a hang over and needed the hair of the dog, so he went to the bar and ordered a vegetable drink with vodka to get moving. So he’s walking around, enjoying life, probably feeling the wind of the hurricane coming in and working up a good buzz when he experienced something that inspired a song idea. He knew he had to get it on paper quickly. He had probably forgotten some really good song ideas and regretted not writing them down at the time, but he was partying and of course, didn’t remember them the next day. So he sat down on the beach and wrote out exactly what he did and experienced that day, put it with a catchy tune and CHA-CHING!! See ya later Hurricane season, I’m going to Paris! He’s either excited or complaining about the airplane ride. I would guess a little of both..
The cleaning out could represent Alcohol, drugs or living in Key West during the hurricane season. But it’s what he needs to clear his mind, relax and take a break from living the rock-star life. It charges his batteries.
