Words that rhyme with Evacuate
You can read evacuate two ways: as a quotidian anchor, or as a three-syllable shape on the mid /ษ/ that snaps shut on a stop. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict rhymes arrive in number here, the family column is blank, the assonance column dwarfs the others. Take the lyric role separately and it's a workaday word. Spend the first verse in the perfect column before sampling the slants.

Why evacuate rhymes the way it does
Pull evacuate apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 637 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 557, assonance 6,154, and consonance 1364. 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. 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. Evacuate rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
