In a song I called 'Sun and Rain', that I wrote a number of years ago I spent days pairing up words/concepts as close to opposite as I could get. For instance, there is a distinct if subtle difference between joy and rapture as well as between grief and woe, so the line became "the joy and the grief", "the rapture and woe". It went on with "pleasure and pain","giggles and sighs", "hellos and goodbyes", "promises broken and words left unspoken", "births and fates", etc.

I spent a lot of time on it but I was quite proud of how it developed.
