While I liked your idea of needing those things to be noticed, I'm not sure that's what it means, but I don't think it's meaningless.
I think what the singer might be trying to impart is that, whatever other purposes the moon and trees may serve, without inspiring poetry, or creating the gentle and beautiful sound of wind blowing through branches, they are useless.
Anyway. I love the vocals on this song. She's a very good singer. I think the vocals, as much as the lyrics, if not more so, really make this song.
And of course, I like how Merritt isn't afraid to to have some bisexual implications in there.
