Why realist rhymes the way it does
The phonology of realist is a two-syllable core: the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 221, assonance 6,200, and consonance 37. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Realist reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
