I think this song is about depression/low self-esteem. He is curled up behind the house, thinking about how he's "not so important". And I agree with SuperSista, that he wants somebody to lean on for a while, because he's feeling weak and "girly".
I took the hawk in the heart to mean a war hawk, and a dove in the brain to symbolize peace. There's parallelism there. I think he's saying, again, that he's not strong or ready to fight, at least not at this point.
The title of the song intrigues me...Perhaps he is just thirsty for some meaning or semblance in his life, or for strength? Hmm.
@emyelhsa Hello, You wrote this comment 7 years ago :) In think that the title "Thirsty" is connected to another song on the album. In the song called "Available" (which is right behind 'Thirsty') There is a question "Did you liquor me up?".
