Trastornao' is a colloquial, shortened form of "trastornado," which means "disturbed" or "messed up."
In this song, the artist uses it to express how deeply affected and mentally disoriented he is by his love and the absence of his partner. It's an interesting word because it conveys a strong emotional state beyond simple sadness, suggesting a loss of mental equilibrium due to heartbreak.
Ever made a big mistake in a relationship and lived to regret it? That's the heart of Dalex's song "Down." The singer is feeling incredibly sad and lost, or "down," after his partner left him. He openly admits the breakup was his fault: "Te fallé con otro culo y por eso me dejaste botao'" (I failed you with another girl and that's why you left me). Now, he's stuck in a loop of regret, spending his days watching her social media stories and his nights crying.
To cope with the pain, he tries to party and act like he doesn't care, saying he'll go out "a mil sin cojones" (at a thousand miles an hour without a care). He even tries to move on with other people, but quickly realizes it's not the same. He makes a clear distinction between casual encounters and what he had with her, singing, "no es lo mismo chingar que hacer el amor" (it's not the same to f*ck as it is to make love). The song paints a vivid picture of someone trying to dance through their heartbreak, realizing too late what they've lost.
