Many comments begin with how simple the song meaning is, and it is ... so keep the explanation simple.
The "perfect life" is referring to "perfect" in the eyes of the world. That is celebrity, materialism, pride, vanity, etc. are all just superficial replacements to hide behind rather than being yourself and who God meant you to be.
Being "perfectly broken" is accepting your flaws ..... be who you are.
Makes me think of Romans 12:2 .....
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
