Using "Save" in Creative Writing

Flexible enough to sit in almost any emotional context — that's what makes "Save" a useful starting point for a lyric. The rhyme you pair it with ends up doing a significant share of the meaning work: pulling the line in one direction or another without changing the word itself. Near rhyme options in particular can open up combinations that feel more contemporary and less expected than perfect rhymes.
