Meme is perfect and totally sets the mood

I think I would exchange your mute guitar synth for either a live instrument OR a synth alternative with a similar sound. Also, probably put a wider chorus on it, or double track it. As is, it's a little thin.

1:27 I yearn for a different treatment to the bass, such as heavy saturation, clipping for drops, or an alternative bassline for the drops. It sounds a bit same throughout. I have this problem all the time tbh. Good practice is to write 4 bars, copy paste, change bar 8, copy paste section, add a flourish or change a note in the 3rd set of four bars, and change bar 16. Works great for drops. I then take the first 2nd 8 bars as a short hook/drop, and keep 16 bar verses. It's just a matter of building to the hook at that point and the song should come natural.

That's really my only complaints about this piece, as it builds a bit slowly, and doesn't have a lot of variation beyond the flutes coming in for the final hook. Add and take away some elements as you develop.

I will praise that reverb is pretty well tamed minus a bit on those strings. They also would do well to have another instrument on the opposite side on the same line

I think turning down some of your plucks, turning down the pads/chords, and bumping bass, kick, and snare, would help drive this song forward more.

Otherwise, I love your chord progression and your arpeggios are pretty af. Great work using minimal instrumentation and simple beats. :)
