Words that rhyme with Textile
Textile works as a common-tongue word on the lyric side and three-syllable the open /aɪ/ diphthong on the sound side — it flows into the next line via a liquid at the close. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Engine returns: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric returns: a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why textile rhymes the way it does
In our engine, textile registers as a three-syllable word on the open /aɪ/ diphthong (/i/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 13,389, and consonance 1. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Textile rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
