I can't get my brain to the wings I want it to

I keep getting places and the song just sounds worse and worse the farther I go, it feels like no matter what I do it gets boring.

Each section could use some better part writing. Treat it like an old theory exercise; it should make it sound a lot clearer and with a lot more structural integrity; THEN you can move away from it. It sounds like every part is doing their own thing right now, which is cool when there's precedent, strange when it's introduced like this.

So what do you think makes exciting music?

I really like the first section. wish it was longer.. perhaps the short drum section longer..  Starting about 20 seconds..  Don't find the instrument patch very interesting.. After 30 seconds or so, I don't like the sound at all.. More development in this section.. It is too long of the same short theme.  

When I get stuck in the same situation..  I mute that section, and rewrite it.. If the piece is long, I pick out a certain section to work on that day.. Can I fix it, by rewriting one instrument part, and perhaps add another instrument..  Or does the whole section need reworking.. 

Occasionally when I get stuck in your current state.. I leave the piece alone for a while.. And come back to it, a few days, (or more) later.. It then seems more obvious what is strong, and what is not..
