Hrm, I'd agree with a good chunk of this, save for Raven being a Maiden. The Maidens concept was developed after Volume 2, whereas the first mention of Raven leaving Yang was in the middle of it. As for truth being revealed by mirrored eyes, remember that mirrors are glass painted with silver on the back. And who do we know that has silver eyes? You guessed it, Ruby, so she'll be the one to see the ultimate truth behind Ozpin.

Though yes, Raven indeed had a reason to leave Ozpin, though what exactly is still unknown. Some have theorized that she and Qrow are like Hughinn and Muinn, the ravens of Odin. And according to old Norse legend, Odin sacrificed his right eye for wisdom, Raven's symbol is a right eye, yet clearly she revolted against being "sacrificed" for whatever reason. Though she communicates with Qrow, despite him still being loyal to Ozpin.

So aside from the Maiden and mirrored eye issue, your theory is indeed sound, since Raven was allied with Ozpin before her disappearance. Cinder never was, so the song can't be about her.
