Why resilience rhymes the way it does
The phonology of resilience is a three-syllable core: the bright /iห/ (/iห/), then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 33, assonance 13,074, and consonance 27. 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 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 resilience, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
