After a quick listen, the tones and balance feel good. I'd rather more of the BgVx. The effects strike me as a bit forced. They seem cool but out of place.
I do feel this song is about motion and the frequent mutes, while creative, don't really fit or do the song justice. If anything all the rhythm parts are designed to invoke movement. The rhythm section is as lyrical as the vocal. Breaking that motion doesn't feel right, at least to me. I'd say as a compromise maybe have an element or filtered version of the rhythm section continuing through the breaks. More of a change of focus. Blur the movement into the background but don't lose the contrast. That way you can have the narrator have his moment of reflection but still have a subdued, but thematically inescapable motion underneath.
Ultimately, you have the balances down. It's a technically good mix. Now support the emotion of the song. Which is both more important and more difficult.
Yes, I am drunk, what of it?

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
