Words that rhyme with Vape
A one-syllable word that reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, vape sits on a front-of-the-mouth /eษช/ and snaps shut on a stop. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict matches show up in low numbers, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Take the lyric role separately and it's a household-word. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why vape rhymes the way it does
Pull vape apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the gliding /eษช/ (/a/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 165, assonance 4,917, and consonance 332. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Vape is a word that benefits from the second pass.
