I think "Last Links" is more about that there's anger and sadness in this world, but love also remains, than about the environment.

When I first started reading the lyrics I also thought about it as a metaphor liking people to trees. So, about war? Thinking about it, the part with the wind could be about how outside influences might turn you into a complete different person. About losing yourself.
