Well, keep working on it.

Mastering is a thing, Mixdown another one.

Ideas are cool, but it doesn't have enough Mid and High mid frequencies. Sounds a bit muddy. the kick and the snare could use a break. The intro is way too long and uninteresting, do some variation to make it work better. Also, the clap starting around 2:57 is awfull. You'll need a better one for sure. Second drop is better, but the mix seems to be compressed. You need to try having headroom and nothing on the master before trying anything else.

The end is the intro but fading out, instead of fading in.

Again, you have cool ideas, melodies, chords but generic sh**** structure. The way it works is fine but nothing too fancy. MAKE IT FANCY ! that's the important part in music.

so TL;DR : Remove anything "master" thing, you've use and try playing with the volume of everything else to have -3dB at least of Headroom. Try having bigger break without drums. Make it fancy. and that's it for now.

have a good day !

PS : No hate, really it's for you that I say that. I've been like that before.

Thank you for the reply!
I have noted some of the things you mentioned ( i already have a few of my own ) and ill start working on it again when i get home.. i just wanna ask if you think the compression is too much even though ( at least during the 2nd drop ) its supposed to be loud?

the song itself sounds ok. however the mix definitely needs a tweak. first thing i noticed was how, at the beginning, the piano needs more reverb and/or compression.. then the whitenoise you use to sweep the buildup and drop etc. is just way too loud. especially the high ends.. 
also try adding a few extra background tracks to thicken it up a little bit. sounds a little bit too empty.
other than that, its fine.

Dont watch youtube tutorials. they dont work. im sorry to tell you this, but the only thing that helps is practice. you will notice that over time, and we're talking years of production, you will simply just be able to hear more details.. and therefor  be able to fix them. youtube can be ok if you wanna look up something like sound design.. but those that cover an entire mix or whatever , you just cant use for any good.
