It means to take care of something...for example, if I need to do something else but I need someone to keep an eye on the concessons stand (I manage a movie theatre), I'll ask them to "hold down the fort."

I believe you are confusing two different sayings .\nOne is    "you have to fight fire with fire" which comes from oil rigs that catch on fire.  for example when American forces went  into Iraq Saddam started blowing up oil rigs to impede them once an oil rig catches on fire the only way to put it out is to blow it up with explosives placed at the base of the fire. similarly it means to beat someone at their own game . For example lets say you and a friend are playing a game and you know for a fact that your friend is cheating , the only way you would have any chance of winning would be for you to start cheating as well.\n\nThe second saying is   "if you play with fire you will get burned " which quite simply means if you do risky things you should  expect negative consequences or repercussions

it appears to be a slang terms for "pulling your gun out of a holster and shooting someone" - so it wouldn't apply to the vice president, he had his shotgun out before he shot\n\nbut it also seems to me "hot tempered woman" and stuff like that.

I found this person's opinion of the meaning and I think it's very accurate:\n\n"I think this song is about an emtpy soul who see's no color but black and white. He has no emotion and isn't able to explain his feelings: 'taffy stuck, tounge tied'. A very closed, unaccepting person who doesn't open up to anyone. He is emotionally brain dead and trying to escape the complete numbness of his life. He's dead inside and covers it up with the ol' "I am Fine"."

The correct phrase reads:\n\nThe QUIET before the storm.  \n\nThis typically refers to pathetic fallacy (nature in sympathy with "man") and refers to the *LULL* of activity before events unfold in a dramatic (stormy) manner.

It's from Horace - I will look it up for you...\n\nI found some translations, but since it it a poem, they have all taken some literary license.  The part you have put up is only the first two lines, and I have given you the first four.  Literally, it starts out, "You will live correctly, Licinius, neither always pressing while storms..."    altum means deep or high, but the word it modifies isn't given.\n\nYour life will be better by not pressing\nAlways out to deep sea, Licinius\nNor by staying too close to shore and guessing\nWhere rocks lie treacherous.\n\nYou better sure shall live, not evermore\nTrying high seas; nor, while sea’s rage you flee,\nPressing too much upon ill-harboured shore.\n\nYou will live more rightly, Licinius, \nneither by always pressing far out onto the deep sea \nwhen you are bold, \nnor by too closely hugging the unfriendly shore \nwhen you quake, wary of storms.\n\nSeek to live, Licinius, life more fitly,\nNeither pressing always to open seas nor\nSo afraid of storms that you steer too close to\nTreacherous shorelines.

Came from General George Patton during WWII.  It stands for \n"Situation Normal All Fouled Up"  One may substitute a different word starting with "F" should one be so inclined. The original I believe used by General Patton was the substitute word beginning with "F".
