Words that rhyme with Suicide
Map suicide onto a phonological grid and you get: two-syllable, the full-throated /aษช/, ending that lands on a closed syllable. Lyrically, it reads as an unguarded everyday word. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. The headline counts: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The lyric headline: it works as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why suicide rhymes the way it does
Suicide is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the full-throated /aษช/, then it closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 239, assonance 4,278, and consonance 13. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Suicide is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
