Songwriter Pro Tip

Avoid the obvious 'glitter/bitter' pairing by rhyming glitter with unexpected words from other phonetic families—try 'glitter/guitar,' 'glitter/filter,' or even internal rhymes like 'glitter in the middle of the bitter.' Better yet, use glitter as a metaphor for manufactured emotion (fake love, empty fame) rather than actual shine—this subverts listener expectations and makes the cliché feel fresh.
