Well the elements that you have there work very well together, but none of them really seems to be the focal point of the track.. a theme if you will..
You have the two synthy parts that play off of each other up until slightly after mid point in the track. Then they drop out for a bit, and come back shortly after.
The way they play off each other leaves some space for something to come in later ontop to focus your attention to, and leave those playing in the background.

It's just the way they sound to me that makes me hear them as complementary pieces to what's going on, and not so much the main idea. Like an intro/outro sorta feeling... Honestly the first thing that came to mind for me was something higher pitched with a short attack (strings... piano...), and simple non-cheesy riff that could just funk it out and take it on a deep tip, then drop it in and out, and the synths you already have will carry the groove along on the dark tip.

I hope this rambling makes some sense..

But yeah this track has a nice smooth dark vibe to it.. I think if you try something similar to the above, it will give it some nice variation and take the listener on even more of a journey.
Wow, thank you very much for the comments. I get what you're saying too, and I kind of did that, but I guess not to the extent that you're speaking of. Seriously, thanks for taking the time to give such constructive criticism. I appreciate it greatly.
