Activity's killing the actor - I think Elliott means the writer is the actor, and being fake and full of lies is killing them. Not necessary death, but they have had enough, and needs to be free of this burden.
The song is a sad but also happy song, as the writer is able to resolve there issues by ending it for the good of both parties. So in a sense its a bitter sweet feeling, losing the one you thought you loved but at the same time feeling freedom by doing what is right for both parties and freeing yourself from what was troubling you.
