Here are my thoughts:
I believe that when it says: "We're the reflection of imperfection," it does include the statement that we are embodiments of imperfection.. but it might also refer to our incomplete views and how we seem to never be that imperfect being we strive for - thereby becoming /more/ imperfect. For example, some little kids become obsessed with the rather unrealistic goal of becoming a soldier (due to imperfect views). If the "mirror" we're reflections of is imperfect, I'm not sure if that mirror-image is what we strive to be.. but anyway -
The second part also compliments the former, in that, it possibly refers to the notion that humans surface from an infinite deep of pre-defined limitations (e.g. gravity, frontal vision, limited forms).

The imperfections we see in other people are usually worse in us in some way and that's why we're so in tune with their imperfections. Who doesn't hate, for instance? Not many. It's more true that we have a place in us that is a relfection of perfection and an infinite place without limitations. We get programmed by two or three, the experts say, and we become like the mess of the world. The intuition connects us to the other 90 percent of the brain that is the human majority part. A little tipping and wah la, we're human, quantum leap, adults, grown.

It sounds like he's saying that God is imperfect (since we are a reflection; made in God's image.) and we come from a place in infinity that's full of rules and regulations.(limitations) It seems like a slick way of taking a shot at the creator. Since he's Jewish, this is surprising. Most of his songs are religious.
