I can't figure out how this should end. Any help?

I've been messing around with this track for entirely too long (like three years maybe), and I can't figure out how to make it stop. I want to put it on an album I've been working on (sort of a concept album about post-apocalyptic robots), but it needs a lot of work. I'm hoping that if I can figure out how to end it I can flesh out the bits in between. Any advice?

i think i understand exactly what you mean, but Im not sure you will like this to much, because imo the problem with how to end the track is related to: 1) the track length. 2) the repetitive nature of each part. 3) the length of each part.
That is the 'reason' that you do not reach a 'natual end'. What i think would improve the track, was to make each part shorter, so the whole track comes down to ~4 mins. I would make it more interesting to listen to, and the repetitive nature would not be so obvious.
well that imo.

Sound advice, thanks! Never occurred to me probably because most of my other compositions thus far have been composed in mostly the same way and I never really had much of an issue with them... but this does make a lot of sense. Thanks for the help!
