"Heavy lies the head" comes from Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2, where the phrase is actually, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." It means that leadership or power comes with a lot of responsibility and burdens. People in charge often face tough decisions and stress.
Vox’s lore has him being the leader of a clan, and he’s a demon that loves humans, but demons rely on human souls to survive, so he bears the burden of wanting to love humans, but unable to be close to them because he’s a demon that requires killing humans and getting their soul to survive so heavy lies the head has an implication of him like wanting to get close to humans, but being afraid of harming them in the process. As for zali, His lore has him trying to save his little sister from the crystal disease, but when he finally got the cure for the crystal disease and went back to his village, his little sister has already passed away from the disease, so the song kind of implicate that he lost his little sister, and now bears the burden of being unable to cure his sister in time.
