the tones are really appropriate and cohesive.
what hear is that when the song gets big, your track gets smaller.
overall compression and limiting is just too much and in the wrong spot. it sounds as if you created all your settings at the top of the song where dynamically everything feels nice. but then all the energy comes in and the track clamps down and you lose all the movement, all the space.
my suggestion would be to remove all buss compression and limiting, re mix in those effects at the biggest (most energy) part of the song and get your feel. then be sparing with your makeup gain on limiting.
