In the song, Shigure Ui is singing about a "divine purge" against those who are into lolis – mocking them with lyrics such as "if you touch me, you'll get arrested" and "I don't want such as you, to ever like me."

Time for a roll-call in prison,
One, two, three, four!
I'm sorry!

Eh?
Divine purge! It's the Loli God Requiem!
