Words that rhyme with Ejection
The phonetic facts first: ejection is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the mid /ษ/, and the line rings out through a nasal. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. This one travels in song as an idea-word looking for a body. If you're searching for rhymes for ejection, the shape of the pool is unusual: the perfect-rhyme list is short, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why ejection rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for ejection starts at the vowel โ the short /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 45 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 73, assonance 11,886, and consonance 42. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Ejection rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
