Words that rhyme with Automation
Most songwriters treat automation as a thinking-word, but the phonology underneath matters: four-syllable, vowel on the centred /ษ/, ending that trails through a nasal hum. Pair it with something tactile and the line lifts. In a song, the word is an abstract noun. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the perfect column carries weight on its own, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Stay in the perfect column for as long as it surprises you, then drift outward.

Why automation rhymes the way it does
The phonology of automation is a four-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 745 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 556, assonance 4,765, and consonance 208. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With automation, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
