Hi,
i agree with @Roy that your mix has some good qualities. A possible reason for the perception
For me it fulfills a specific role as an emotional narrator in this song. It 's taking over when the singing guy with his semantics shuts off.
It should be center stage, imho. And while it sounds sweet on its own with the drowning reverb on it, it is way too far back.
That is not to say it should be bone dry upfront. It certainly deserves some space and "dreaminess" maybe even more as the lead vocal in the melancholic parts and not totally different but with some variation in the revolting section (solo parts).
Maybe try some pre-delay and automation.
Take my ramblings with a grain of salt. I 'm an amateur.
