Why satisfaction rhymes the way it does
Satisfaction is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's four-syllable and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 19 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 6,649, and consonance 89. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 satisfaction, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
