After listening to this song dozens of times thinking it was simply beautiful nonsense, a possible meaning fell into place.
Although the line "I love unicorns" is amusing, I think I is used to emphasize the speaker's utter emotional collapse resulting from the painful end of a relationship. He was so hurt by the fickle physical love of the real world, that he turns to a mythical, majestic creature. If he loves something that doesn't exist, how can anyone ever take that love away from him?
This may seem far-fetched, but I think it's possible. Either way, I love the song. I've got a lot of other possible reasons, but I'll leave it at that.
