Why unaware rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for unaware starts at the vowel โ the open /ษหr/, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 67 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 94, assonance 8,212, and consonance 476. 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.

Unaware reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
