A semicolon is basically a super-comma. When you want a comma, but more-so, you use a semicolon; it is showboating though. They're more than commas but less than periods.
a semicolon generally implies that one independent clause leads to the next. in fact if i were your editor i'd argue against your usage there, since the second clause is a counter to the first.
They're used to connect related independent clauses. My two clauses are related, the second clause is adding nuance to the first. The two clauses don't need to be saying the same things.
