Words that rhyme with Repeating
Repeating is a three-syllable word built around the high /ษช/, and it lets the nasal carry the tail. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Two readings: as data โ the perfect column carries weight on its own, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out; as lyric โ a household-word. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why repeating rhymes the way it does
Repeating is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 204, assonance 6,612, and consonance 212. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With repeating, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
