Ultimately, the problem is that life for most people is now so far removed from the means of production that this feeling of wasted life is inevitable.
There are precious few things actually worth doing, in the long run, and most of us don't want to do them. This creates a feeling of alienation, of an unnatural existence. It has been that way for at least some members of the population for thousands of years.
I've personally felt that way most of my life, and you learn to acknowledge, and, while not quite accepting it (one always likes to pretend one can and will change), at least live with it.
Also, Samsa is right. There is no meaning to life but what is made of it, as well as a few biological imperatives, which, if need be, can be brushed aside.
