Words that rhyme with Giant
Take giant apart phonetically and the bones are these: one-syllable, vowel on the front /ษ/, ending that closes on the nasal-stop pairing. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Take the lyric role separately and it's an unguarded everyday word. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why giant rhymes the way it does
Giant is built around the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 225, assonance 3,077, and consonance 347. 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. 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. Giant rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
