I love the metaphor of the avocado for him being able to cope with emotional pain and heartbreak and apparently being unfazed. I think he's saying that unlike his friends he won't "crack from love's weight" because he's the avocado with the heart of stone.
Salacia was apparently the wife of Neptune and goddess of the sea in Roman mythology. Delphinius is a constellation which was (according to the myth) put there by Neptune to thank the dolphin who helped him find Salacia. I think the "every fire in Delphinius" is a reference to romantic star gazing. I guess like a lot of their songs it's about being unlucky in love.
"The fires of Delphinus" might also be a nod to the eternal flame at the temple of Apollo in Delphi. Delphi's famous for its prophetic Oracle, which sort of fits in with the "trying to look forward not back" vibe of lines like "It won't get better / that doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse".
