Why electric rhymes the way it does
To understand why electric rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the clipped /ɪ/, written /ɪ/ — and the ending, which trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 35, assonance 12,220, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Electric is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
