You're right about it not being metal though, but for the wrong reasons.
The bass is not heavy enough, the main riff is slightly high-pitched (not a reason on itself) and has too much of a hard rock feeling, the guitar just misses this thickness required for metal, the distortion could be in a different setting to get it a bit "warmer", and the drums are too slow.
(These aren't bad things, they're just reasons why it isn't metal)

Very good song, and I really mean that. But it isn't metal (I don't think you wanted it to be metal per se anyway)
You are quite right, I wasn't trying to make it a metal song, just a more hard, rockier song then the last one which was very downbeat due to the depressing subject matter. I'm really glad you liked it
