Words that rhyme with Lowering
Lowering belongs to the three-syllable group; its vowel is the high /ษช/, and it hums to a nasal close. The lyric tradition treats it as a quotidian anchor. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, the assonance options multiply into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a common-tongue word. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why lowering rhymes the way it does
In our engine, lowering registers as a three-syllable word on the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) that trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 99, assonance 5,631, and consonance 269. 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. Lowering rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
